Bobby Angel - Living Next Door to Alice Lyrics

Sally called when she got the word
She said
I suppose you've heard
About Alice

Well, I rushed to the window
I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
A big limousine rode slowly
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
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years, waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

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
The big limousine drove 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 want to know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years, waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

Sally called back
Asked how I felt
She said, I know I can help
Get over Alice

She said, Alice is gone
But I'm still here
You know I've been waiting
Twenty-four years
The big limousine
Disappears
With Alice

And 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
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years, waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

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
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years, waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

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
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
