Alison by Elvis Costello

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 gonna to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky Valentines

'Cause I don't know if you are 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 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
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true, my aim is true
