Sally called when she got the word
She said, "I suppose, that you've heard about Alice"
Well, I rushed to the window
And I looked outside
But I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine
Pulled up, into Alice's drive
()
Oh, I don't why she's leavin'
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't wanna know
But for 24 years
I've been living next door
To Alice
(Alice? Who the hell is Alice!?)
Now 24 years
Just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel
And maybe get a second glance
Now I got to get used to not living next door
To Alice
(Alice? Who the hell is Alice!?)
Grew up together
Two kids in a park
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

(Alice? Who the hell is Alice!?)
Now 24 years
Just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel
And maybe get a second glance
Now I got to get used to not living next door
To Alice
(Alice? Who the hell is Alice!?)
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 24 years"
And a big limousine
Disappeared
