Well it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
Ah but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only hope he wasn'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
Well did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right in your hand
Ah but 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
My aim is true
My aim is true
