Sally Called When She Got The Word

She Said, I Suppose You Heard…about Alice.

So I Rushed To The Window And I Looked Outside

And I Could Hardly Believe My Eyes

As The Big Limousine Pulled Slowly Into Alice's Drive



Oh I Don't Why She's Leaving Or Were She's Gonna Go

I Guess She's Got Her Reasons But I Just Don't Wanna Know

Cause For 24 Years I've Been Living Next Door To Alice



24 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



We Grew Up Together, Two Kids In The Park

We Carved 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 Big Limousine Pulled Slowly Out Of Alice's Drive



Oh I Don't Why She's Leaving Or Were She's Gonna Go

I Guess She's Got Her Reasons But I Just Don't Wanna Know

Cause For 24 Years I've Been Living Next Door To Alice



24 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



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 24 Years

And The Big Limousine Disappeared



Oh I Don't Why She's Leaving Or Were She's Gonna Go

I Guess She's Got Her Reasons But I Just Don't Wanna Know

Cause For 24 Years I've Been Living Next Door To Alice



24 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



Now I'll Never Get Used To Not Living Next Door To Alice.
