ELVIS COSTELLO - Alison lyrics

rate me

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.<br>And with the way you look I understand<br>That you are not impressed.<br>But I heard you let that little friend of mine<br>Take off your party dress.<br>I'm not going to get too sentimental<br>Like those other sticky valentines,<br>'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody.<br>I only know it isn't mine.<br><br>Alison, I know this world is killing you.<br>Oh, alison, my aim is true.<br><br>Well I see you've got a husband now.<br>Did he leave your pretty fingers lying<br>In the wedding cake? <br>You used to hold him right in your hand.<br>I'll bet he took all he could take.<br>Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking<br>When I hear the silly things that you say.<br>I think somebody better put out the big light,<br>Cause I can't stand to see you this way.<br><br>Alison, I know this world is killing you.<br>Oh, alison, my aim is true.<br>My aim is true.
