Alison Lyrics

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.

And with the way you look I understand that you were not impressed.

But I heard you let that little friend of mine

Take off your party dress.

I'm not gonna to get too sentimental

Like those other sticky valentines,

'Cause I don't know if you are loving somebody.

I only know it isn't mine.



Alison, I know this world is killing you.

Oh, Alison, my aim is true.



Well I see you've got a husband now.

Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?

You used to hold him right in your hand.

I bet he took all he could take.

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking

When I hear the silly things that you say.

I think somebody better put out the big light,

'Cause I can't stand to see you this way.



Alison, I know this world is killing you.

Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

My aim is true. (repeat and fade)
