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
What's it to you now
You're going down
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 #1 in the start of September
And by Christmas she was already singing about other boys
What's it to you now
You're going down
What's it to you now
You're going down
So, it was seven inches of gold produced by desire
But fifteen minutes of fame was more than she could share
Now, Alison's got a new favourite taking her higher
And I'm just a kid trying to work my way outta here
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
I guess she was trying to thank me for letting her go
She said she'd keep on playing her songs in lack of something better
But I bet she was wondering how she would do back home
What's it to you now
You're going down
What's it to you now
You're going down
