Elvis Costello & The Attractions Alison lyrics

Oh, it's so funny to be seein' ya after so long girl
And with 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

I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were lovin' somebody
I only hope it isn't mine

Alison
I know this world is killin' you
Oh, Alison
My aim is true

Well, I see ya got a husband now
But did you leave your pretty fingers
Lying in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right in your hand

But it took all he could take

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

Alison
I know this world is killin' you
Oh, Alison
My aim is true

My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
...
