Smokie - Living Next Door To Alice

[Verse 1]

ASally called when she got the word.D
And she said: “I suppose you’ve heard E- AboutA AliceE”.
When I Arushed to the window, and I looked outside,
Dand I could hardly believe my Eeyes.
AndE the big limousine rolled up, intAo Alice’s drEive.

[Chorus]

Oh, I Adon’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go.
I Dguess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know.
Cause for Etwenty-four years I’ve been living next door to AAliceE.
ATwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Dtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I’ve Egot to get used to not Dliving next door to AAliceE.

[Verse 2]

AWe grew up together, two kids in the parkD.
We carved our initials, deep in the bark. EMe andA AliceE
Now she Awalks to the door with her head held high
Djust for a moment I caught her eye
EAs the limousine pulls out, of AAlices driEve

[Chorus]

Oh, I Adon’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go.
I Dguess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know.
Cause for Etwenty-four years I’ve been living next door to AAliceE.
ATwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Dtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I’ve Egot to get used to not Dliving next door to AAliceE.

[Verse 3]

ThenA Sally called back and asked how I felt,D
And she said: “I know how to help E- get oveAr Alice”.E
She said: “NowA Alice is gone, but I’m still here,
Dyou know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years…”E
And the big limousine disapeared…

[Chorus]

Oh, I Adon’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go.
I Dguess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know.
Cause for Etwenty-four years I’ve been living next door to AAliceE.
ATwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Dtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I’ve Egot to get used to not Dliving next door to AAliceE.

[Outro]

No, I’ll nEever get used to not lDiving next door to AAlice…
