Living Next Door to Alice (Originally Performed By Smokie)

Living Next Door To Alice - Jive Bunny

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 waitin' for a chance

To tell her how I'm feeling maybe get a second glance

Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

Grew up together two kids in the park

Carved our initials deep in the bark

Me and Alice

Now she walks to the door with her head held high

And 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 waitin' for a chance

To tell her how I'm feeling maybe get a second glance

Now I've 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

And you know I've been waiting 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 waitin' 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
