Lyrics Living Next Door To Alice/Arms Of Mary/Take Good Care Of My Baby - Smokie

Sally called, when she got the word,
She said "I suppose you′ve heard
About Alice."
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
This big limousine pulled slowly into 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 24 years I′ve been living next door to Alice.
24 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,
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 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 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, and asked how I felt,
She said "I know how to help ...
You 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.
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 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 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.
No, I′ll never get used to not living next door to Alice ...
