Intro
Oh its so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
And by 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 get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines
Cause i don't know if you were 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
But he took all that he could take
Sometimes i wish that i could stop you from talking
When i hear those silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
(Be)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 (To fade)
