[SONG BEGINS]

Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
With the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed
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 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 takе
Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hеar the silly things that you say
Think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
Oh, Alison
I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
