Alice - Smokie
Lyrics by：Chinn/Nicky/Chapman/Mike
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
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 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
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 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
I've been waiting twenty four 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 want to know
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living
Next door to Alice
Twenty four years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I'm feeling maybe get a second glance
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
