Living next door to Alice

Smokie · Nicky Chinn · Mike Chapman

Sally called and she got the word.
She said I suppose you've heard,
about Alice.
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes.
And the big limosine pulled up,
in Alices drive.

     Oh, I dont know why she's leavin,
     or where she's gonna go
     I guess she's got her reaons
     but I just dont wanna know
     cause for 24 years i've been
     living next door to Alice
     24 years just waiting for the chance
     to tell her how I feel
     and maybe get a second glance
     Now I gotta get used to not
     livin next door to Alice

We walked together, two kids in the park
We inscribed our initials deep in the bark
me and Alice
As she walks to the door with her head held high
just for a moment I caught her eye
As the limosine pulls out,
of Alices drive

     Oh, I dont know why she's leavin,
     or where she's gonna go
     I guess she's got her reaons
     but I just dont wanna know
     cause for 24 years i've been
     living next door to Alice
     24 years just waiting for the chance
     to tell her how I feel
     and maybe get a second glance
     Now I gotta get used to not
     livin next door to Alice

And 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 Im still here
you know I've been waiting for 24 years
And the big limosine dissapeared.

     Oh, I dont know why she's leavin,
     or where she's gonna go
     I guess she's got her reaons
     but I just dont wanna know
     cause for 24 years i've been
     living next door to Alice
     24 years just waiting for the chance
     to tell her how I feel
     and maybe get a second glance
     Now I gotta get used to not
     livin next door to Alice

     Oh, I dont know why she's leavin,
     or where she's gonna go
     I guess she's got her reaons
     but I just dont wanna know
     cause for 24 years i've been
     living next door to Alice
     24 years just waiting for the chance
     to tell her how I feel
     and maybe get a second glance

     livin next door to Alice
