Living Next Door To Alice Lyrics - Singles - Smokie

Sally called when she got the word 

And she said: "I suppose you've heard 

About Alice" 

When I rushed to the window 

And I looked outside 

And 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 want to know 

'Cos 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've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

We 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 a 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 

'Cos 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 

And 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 a 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 

'Cos 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...
