Elvis Costello Alison song lyrics

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
