Living Next Door to Alice Smokey



Sally __________ when she got the word
And she said "I __________ you've heard, 'bout Alice"
Well I rushed to the __________
and I looked __________
I could hardly believe my __________
As a big __________ rode up
onto Alice's drive.

Chorus:
I don't know why she's __________
or where she's gonna __________
I guess she's got her __________
but I just don't wanna __________
'Cos for __________ years
I've been living next door to Alice

 

__________ years
just waitin' for a __________
To tell her how I __________
and maybe get a __________ glance
Now I gotta get used to __________
living next door to Alice

We grew up __________
two __________ in the park
Carved out initials deep in the dark,
me and Alice
Now she walks through the __________
with her head held high
Just for a __________ I caught her eye
As the big __________ pulled slowly
out of Alice's drive.

Then Sally called __________
and asked how I felt
And she said "I __________ how to help
to get over Alice"
She said "Now Alice is __________
but I'm still __________
You know, I've been waiting
__________ years __________ "
And the big __________ disappeared.

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