And the big limousine pulled up, in Alices drive.

or where she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons
but I just dont wanna know

to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

Now I gotta get used to not livin next door to Alice

We walked together, two kids in the park

just for a moment I caught her eye

As the limousine pulls out, of Alices drive
