Living Next Door to Alice

Margareta called when she got the word, And she said: "I suppose you've heard - About Anders". When I rushed to the window, And I looked outside, And I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled up Into S: t Olofs drive... Oh, I don't know why he's leaving, Or where he's gonna go, I guess he's got his reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four weeks I've been working next floor to Anders. Twenty-four weeks just waiting for a chance, To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I've got to get used to not working next floor to Anders... We work together, In one arbetslag We carved our initials, Deep in the bark, Me and Anders. Now he walks through the door, With his head held high, Just for a moment, I caught his eye, As a big limousine pulled slowly Out of S: t Olof's drive. Oh, I don't know why he's leaving, Or where he's gonna go, I guess he's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four weeks I've been working next floor to Anders. Twenty-four weeks just waiting for a chance, To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I gotta get used to not working next floor to Anders... And Margareta called back and asked how I felt, And she said: "I know how to help - Get over Anders". She said: "Now Anders is gone, But I'm still here, You know I've been waiting For twenty-four weeks..." And a big limousine dissapeared... I don't know why he's leaving, Or where he's gonna go, I guess he's got his reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four weeks I've been working next floor to Anders. Twenty-four weeks just waiting for a chance, To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I've got to get used to not working next floor to Anders... Now I'll never get used to not working next floor to Anders...
