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.
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.
