Alison

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
