Sally called when she got the word She said I suppose You've heard about Alice Well I rushed to the window well I looked outside I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive
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 want to know 'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice (Alice, who the fuck is Alice?)
24 years, just waiting for the chance To tell her how I feel And maybe get a second chance Now I got to get used To not living next door to Alice (Alice, who the fuck is Alice?)
We grew up together Two kids in the park we carved our initials Deep in the bark He and Alice Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment, I caught her eye A big limousine pulled slowly Out of Alice's drive
Chorus.....
Sally called back and asked How I felt and she said Hey 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 For 24 years and the big limousine disappeared
Chorus.....
Now I'll never get used To not living next door to Alice
