Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna 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
[Verse 3]
Alison
I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison
My aim is true
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
