Ok everyone I've been listening to this song like 10 times a day whee heart
Would like to share it with you.

Living next door to Alice

By Smokie

Sally called when she got the word
And she said "I suppose 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 rode up onto 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
'Cos for 24 years I've been livin' next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel
And maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used
To not living next door to Alice

We grew up together, two kids in the park
Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an' Alice
Now she walks through 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

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
'Cos for 24 years I've been livin' next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel
And maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used
To not living next door to Alice

Then sally called back, and asked how I felt
And she said, "I know how to help, to get over Alice"
She said, "now Alice is gone, but I'm still here
You know, I've been waiting for 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
'Cos for 24 years I've been livin' next door to Alice
24 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

No I'll never get used
To not living next door to Alice...
