Living Next Door To Alice
Smokie
A
ASally called when she got the word.
DAnd she said: "I suppose you've heard E- about AAlice".E
Well, I Arushed to the window, and I looked outside,
Dand I could hardly believe my eyes.
EThe big limousine rolled up, into AAlice's drive.E
Oh, I Adon't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
I Dguess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
'Cause for Etwenty-four years I've been living next door to AAlice.E
ATwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Dtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I Egotta get used to not Dliving next door to AAlice.E
We Agrew up together, two kids in the park.
DWe carved our initials, deep in the bark. EMe and AAliceE
Now Ashe walks through the door with her head held high
DJust for a moment I caught her eye
EAs the big limousine pulled slowly out of AAlice's driveE
Oh, I Adon't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
I Dguess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
'Cause for Etwenty-four years I've been living next door to AAlice.E
ATwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Dtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I Egotta get used to not Dliving next door to AAlice.E
AThen Sally called back and asked how I felt,
DAnd she said: "I know how to help E- get over AAlice".E
She said: "Now AAlice is gone, but I'm still here,
you Dknow I've been waiting for twenty-four years"
EAnd the big limousine disappeared
I Adon't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
I Dguess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
'Cause for Etwenty-four years I've been living next door to AAlice.E
ATwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Dtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll Enever get used to not Dliving next door to AAlice.
No, I'll Enever get used to not Dliving next door to AAlice
