Sally called, when she got the word,
she said andquot;i suppose youand've heard
about alice.andquot;
so, i rushed to the window, and i looked outside,
and i could hardly believe my eyes,
this big limousine pulled slowly into aliceand's drive.
i donand't know why sheand's leaving, or where sheand's gonna go,
i guess sheand's got her reasons but i just donand't wanna know,
and'cause for 24 years iand've been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitinand' for a chance,
to tell her how iand'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now iand'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 aliceand's drive.
I donand't know why sheand's leaving, or where sheand's gonna go,
i guess sheand's got her reasons but i just donand't wanna know,
and'cause for 24 years iand've been living next door to alice.

Sally called back, and asked how i felt,
she said andquot;i know how to help ...
you get over alice.andquot;
she said andquot;now alice is gone, but iand'm still here
- you know iand've been waiting 24 years.andquot;
and the big limousine disappeared.

No, iand'll never get used to not living next door to alice ...
