Another old song i really like…

Living Next Door To Alice

by Smokie

Sally called when she got the wordAnd she said "I suppose you've heard, 'bout Alice"So I rushed to the window, and I looked outsideBut I could hardly believe my eyesAs a big limousine rode up onto Alice's drive

Chorus:Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna goI guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice24 years just waitin' for a chanceTo tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glanceNow I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

We grew up together, two kids in the parkCarved out initials deep in the bark, me an' AliceNow she walks through the door, with her head held highJust for a moment I caught her eyeAs the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive

(chorus)

Then Sally called back, and asked how I feltAnd she said, "I know how to help, to get over Alice"She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still hereYou 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 goI guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice24 years just waitin' for a chanceTo tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glanceBut I'll never get used to not living next door to AliceNo, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
