Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, it's so funny to be seein' you after so long, girl
Ah, but 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
[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other sticky Valentines
'Cause I don't now if you were lovin' somebody
I only hope he wasn't mine
[Verse 3]
Alison
I know this world is killin' you
Alison
My aim is true
[Verse 4]
Well, I see you've got a husband now
Well, did he leave your pretty fingers lyin' in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
Ah, but he took all he could take
[Verse 5]
Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talkin'
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 6]
Alison
I know this world is killin' you
Alison
My aim is true
[Verse 7]
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
