Living Next Door To Alice - New World Orchestra
Sally called when she got the word
And she said I suppose you heard about Alice
Were I rushed to the window and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As the big limousine pulled into Alice's drive
Don't know why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
We grew up together two kids in the park
Carved our initials deep in the bark me and Alice
Now she walks to the door with her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive
Don't know why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
Sally called back asked how I felt
She said I know how to help Get over Alice
She said where Alice is gone but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting 24 years
And the big limousine disappeared
I don't know why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
Guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
