Living Next Door To Alice Lyrics

Sally called when she got the word And 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 As a big Limousine rolled 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 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
We grew up together, two kids in the park We carved our initials, deep in the bark, me and 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/living-next-door-to-alice-lyrics-smokie.html ] 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and 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 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 for twenty-four years" And the big Limousine dissapeared
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 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
