Sally called when she got the word She said "I suppose you've hear" "but Alice", Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside Well, 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 wanna know, cause 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 (No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice) We grow up together, two kids in park Caved our initials deep in the park, me and Alice Now she walks through the door with her head held high, Just for a moment I caought her eyes as a big limousine pulled slow out of Alice's drive Then Sally called back and 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 twenty four years
