New World - Living Next Door to Alice lyrics

Sally called when she got the word She said, I suppose you heard 'about Alice So I rushed to the window and I looked outside And I could hardly believe my eyes As the big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 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 We grew up together, two kids in the park We carved 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 big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 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 Sally called back, asked how I felt 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 24 years And the big limousine disappeared Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 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 Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
