Alison wrote me a song and told me to listen 
She picked up her guitar and started humming her melody 
I remember wanting to know if she needed assistance 
She said “why don’t you try you might strike the right chord in me” 

So what’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 
And what’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 

Nobody laughed when Alison said she’d be famous 
Although nobody really knew that she had a voice 
Alison hit number one in the start of September 
And by Christmas she was already singing ‘bout other boys 

So what’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 
And what’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 

Sure it was seven inches of gold produced by desire 
But fifteen of minutes of fame was more than she would share 
You see Alison’s now got a new favourite taking her higher 
And I’m just a kid trying to work my way outta here 

So what’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 
What’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 

When Alison’s band fell apart she wrote me a letter 
Guess she was trying to thank me for letting her go 
She said you keep on playing her songs in lack of something better 
But I bet she was wondering how she would do back home 

So what’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 
What’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 

What’s it to you now? 
You’re going down 
What’s it to you now? 
You’re going down
