Alison - Lyrics by Elvis Costello


Lyrics
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with 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 going to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines,'cause I don't know if you've been 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'll 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.
