Горько-нежное обращение к девушке, которую герой давно не видел: он не знает, верна ли она, но иногда хочет, чтобы она просто исчезла.
Oh its so funny to be seeing you 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.
Im not going to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines,
cause I dont know if youve been loving somebody.
I only know it isnt mine.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, alison, my aim is true.
Well I see youve got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
In the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
Ill 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 cant stand to see you this way.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true.
Знаете ли вы, что...
- Костелло написал эту песню, увидев красивую кассиршу в местном супермаркете. Хотя сингл не попал в чарты, он стал одной из самых известных песен Костелло. Строчка My Aim Is True дала название его дебютному альбому 1977 года.
