called when she got the word
She said I suppose you've heard
Well I rushed to the window
And I could hardly believe my eyes
went slowly off to Alice's drive
I don't know why she's leaving
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
and maybe get a second glance
not living next door to Alice
Carved our initials deep in the bars
Just for a moment I caught her eye
pulled slowly out of Alice's drive
I don't know why she's leaving
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years is waiting for a chance
to tell her how I'm feeling,
baby, get a second glance.
not living next door to Alice.
Sally called back to see how I felt.
She said I know how to help.
She said, now Alice is gone,
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
I don't know why she's leaving
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
and maybe get a second glance
not living next door to Alice
I don't know why she's leaving
I guess she's got her reasons,
but I just don't want to know
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
and maybe get a second glance
not living next door to Alice
