Living Next Door To Alice - Smokie
Sally called
when she got the word
she said
I suppose you've heard
'but Alice
Well I rushed to the window
and looked outside
But I could hard
ly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rode up
into Alice's drive
Oh I
don't know why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty four years
I've been living next door
to Alice
Twenty four years
just waitin' 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 out initials
deep in the bark
me an' Alice
Now she walks through 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
Oh I
don't know why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty four years
I've been living next door
to Alice
Twenty four years
just waitin' 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
Then Sally called back
and asked how I felt
And she said I know
how to help
get over Alice
She said Now Alice is gone
but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting
twenty four years
And the big limousine disappeared
I don't know why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her
reasons but I
just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty four years
I've been living next door
to Alice
Twenty four years
just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe
get a second glance
But 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
