Sally called when she got the word
She said: "I suppose you've heard. About Alice"
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
But 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

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
As the big limousine pulled 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 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

And 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 for 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 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
But 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
