Verse 1

Sally called and she got the word.

 She said I suppose you've heard, about alice.

 When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside

I could hardly believe my eyes.

 And the big limosine pulled up, in alices drive.

Chorus.

 Oh, I dont know why she's leavin,

or where she's gunna go

 I guess she's got her reaons

but I just dont wanna know

 cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice

24 years just waiting for the chance

 to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

 Now I gotta get used to not livin next door to alice

Verse2

We walked together, two kids in the park

 We inscribed our initials deep in the bark me and alice

 As she walks to the door with her head held high

just for a moment I caught her eye

 As the limosine pulls out, of alices drive

Go back to Chorus.

Verse3

 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 im still here

you know i've been waiting for 24 years

And the big limosine dissapeared.

Go to chorus. repeat untill fade.
