Sally called
when she got the word
She said, I suppose that
you've heard about
Alice
Well, I rushed to the window
and I looked outside
But I could hardly believe my eyes
As the big limousine pulled up
in two hours' drive
Oh, I don't know why she's
leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got a reason,
but I just don't wanna know
But for twenty -four years I've
been living next door to
Alice
Alice?
Who the hell is
Alice?
Now twenty -four years just
waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe
get a second glance
How I've come to get used to
not living next door to
Alice
Alice?
Who the hell is
Alice?
We grew up together,
two kids in a park
Carved our ambitions deep in the bark,
me and
Alice
Now she walks through the dark
with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As her victim is here, 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
But for 24 years I've been
living next door to
Alice
Alice?
Who the hell is
Alice?
I've had twenty -four years
just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe
get a second glance
How I'm gonna get used to
not living next door to
Alice
Alice?
Who the hell is
Alice?
Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said,
I don't 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 24 years
And a big limousine disappeared
Oh, I don't know why she's leavin',
or if she's gonna come
I guess she's got a reason,
but I just don't wanna know
But for twenty -four years I've
been livin' next door to
Alice
Alice?
Who the hell is
Alice?
Now twenty -four years just
waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I'm feelin',
maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to
not living next door to
Alice
Alice?
Who the hell is
Alice?
