Lyrics Everything But the Girl

Everything But the Girl

Alison

Oh, it's so funny

To be seeing you after so long, girl

From the way you look I understand

That you were not impressed

But I heard you let that little friend of mine

Take off your party dress

I'm not going to get too sentimental

Like those other sticky valentines

'Cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody

I only know it isn't mine

Alison, I know this world is killing you

Oh Alison, my aim is true, yeah

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 hands

I'll bet 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

Alison, I know this world is killing you

Oh Alison, my aim is true, my aim is true

My aim is true, yeah yeah, my aim is true

My aim is true, my aim is true

My aim is true
