Alison (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, it's so funny now me seeing you after so long
But the way you look, I understand that you were not impressed
Well, I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other fickle valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine

[Chorus]
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, oh-oh, Alison, my aim is true

[Verse 2]
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
But 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

[Chorus]
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, oh-oh, Alison, my aim is true
[Outro]
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
