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
