Dennis Brown - Man next door lyrics

Smokie Miscellaneous Livin' Next Door To Alice Sally called, when she got the word She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice." Will, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside And I could hardly believe my eyes A 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 twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty four 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 We 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 And 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 twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty four 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 Then 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 And you know I've been waiting twenty four years..." And the big limousine disappeared... I don't why 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 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...
