Song 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 going to get too sentimental
like those other sticker valentines,
`cause I don`t know if you are loving some body.
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.
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.
