Smokie - Living Next Door To Alice

Sally called when she got the word,

And she said: "I suppose you've heard -

About Alice".

When 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 want to 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 got to 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 a 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 want to 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 gotta get used to not living 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 I'm still here,

You know I've been waiting

For twenty-four years..."

And a big limousine dissapeared...

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 want to 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,

But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
