You're listening too close

With a knife in your back

You're on the attack

Oh, did I hurt you that bad?

You're sweating me, girl

And it's not even subtle

Oh, I am in trouble

What to do now in my world



And oh my, dear Allison

You're running in platform shoes

And you loved it when I wore my

Evening blues

And it's love, dear Allison

You're kissing with such great ease

And my lips aren't hard to please



Hey now, Allison

You are the one

Who makes boys hold their breath

As you walk on

Hey now, Allison

You are the one

Who changed my life

Before it had begun



So by the phone is where I'll wait

Waiting for calls

Waiting for anything (Wait for anything)

You're hypnotizing me

With those eyes and that smile

I think I'll be here

I think I'll be here for a while



And oh my, dear Allison

You're running in platform shoes

And you loved it when I wore my

Evening blues

And it's love, dear Allison

You're kissing with such great ease

And my lips aren't hard to please



Hey now, Allison

You are the one

Who makes boys hold their breath

As you walk on

Hey now, Allison

You are the one

Who changed my life

Before it had begun



Goodnight, dear Allison

Don't try to make me cry

Just let me walk away

And heal in time

Goodbye, dear Allison

We'll meet again someday

And you'll be happier this way



Hey now, Allison

You are the one (You are the one)

Who makes boys hold their breath

As you walk on (You walk on)

Hey now, Allison

You are the one

Who changed my life

Before it had begun
