Letra de Living next door to alice

Sally called, when she got the word,
she said "i suppose you've heard
about alice."
so, i rushed to the window, and i looked outside,
and i could hardly believe my eyes,
this big limousine pulled slowly into alice's drive.
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,
'cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitin' for a chance,
to tell her how i'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now i've gotta get used to not living next door to alice.
Grew up together, two kids in the park,
carved our initials deep in the bark
- me and alice.
now 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.
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,
'cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitin' for a chance,
to tell her how i'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now i've gotta get used to not living next door to alice.
Sally called back, and asked how i felt,
she said "i know how to help ...
you 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.
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,
'cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitin' for a chance,
to tell her how i'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now i've gotta get used to not living next door to alice.
No, i'll never get used to not living next door to alice ...
