Lyrics Living Next Door to Alice - Die Campbells

Sally called when she got the word
She said, "I suppose you've heard
About Alice?"
Well, I rushed to the window and I 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 wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for the 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 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

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 waiting for the 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, I'm still here
You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years"
Then 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 waiting for the chance
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
