Alice

Lyrics by：Chinn/Nicky/Chapman/Mike

Sally called when she got the word

She said I suppose you've heard about Alice

So I rushed to the window and I looked outside

And I could hardly believe my eyes

This big limousine pulled slowly 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 want to 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'm feeling maybe get a second glance

Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

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

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 want to 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'm feeling maybe get a second glance

Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

Sally called back and asked how I felt

She said I know how to help you get over Alice

She said now Alice is gone but I'm still here

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 want to 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'm feeling 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
