Living Next Door To Alice - Chris Norman

Sally called when she got the word

She said I suppose you've heard

About Alice

Well I rushed to the window

Looked outside

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'm feeling

Maybe get a second glance

Now I've got to get used to not

Living next door to Alice

Grew up together

Two kids in the park

Carved our initials

Deep in the bark

That's right

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'm feeling

Maybe get a second glance

I gotta get used to not

Living next door to Alice

Sally called back 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

Come on

Are you ready

Are you ready

All right 123 come on

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'll never get used to not

Living next door to Alice

Now I'll never get used to not

Living next door to Alice
