歌词
My best friend had a little situation
我有一个好朋友
At the end of our senior year
在高中的尾声出了点小状况
And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
一切来得那么快，她和Mitchell在那个夏天闪婚了
Carolann getting bigger every minute
Carolann的肚子一天比一天大
Thinking, \"What am I doing here?\"
她总是在想她到底在干嘛
While Mitchell's out every night
而那时Mitchell每晚都要出去
Being a heavy-metal drummer
当一个重金属鼓手
They got a little cute house on a little cute street
后来他们在一条环境优美的街上有了自己的温馨小屋
With a crucifix on the door
小屋门上还有个十字架
Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall
Mitchell在商场里的唱片店工作
Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore
这就是个典型的东海岸小镇生活的例子
I thought about what I wanted
而我在想我到底要过怎样的生活
It wasn't like that at all
我的生活才不要像那样
Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
我做了一件可爱的宝宝毛衣给Carolann
Thinking \"I can do better than that\"
我在想“我可以过得更好”
所以大概一年后那样，我搬离了那座城市
In a year or so, I moved to the city
我还有什么好失去的呢
Thinking \"What have I got to lose?\"
我有了间小房子，养了只猫，还瘦了20磅
Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
我在我上的课上遇到了一个人，他有着很酷的纹身
Met a guy in a class I was taking he wears very well place tattoo
他不会轻易离开我，除非我要和他共进晚餐
He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
然后我就觉得他很好啊
And I guess he was cute
我也觉得他很甜
And I guess he was sweet
他的也挺好
And I guess he was good in bed
为了接下来的日子更好，我放弃了自己原来的生活
I gave up my life for a better part of a year
我的确觉得这样有用
So I'm starting to think that this maybe might work
就在那时我想到
And the second it entered my head
他也需要自己的时间
He needed to take some time off
去专注他的所谓的“事业”
Focus on his \"career\"
然后他就用一封语气真诚的信甩了我
He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
我当时就在想“我可以做得更好啊”
I thought \"I can do better than that\"
【下面是对Jamie说的话】你没必要去剪头
你没必要换双鞋子
You don't have to get a haircute
你也没必要像杜兰杜兰乐队【英国乐队，新浪漫乐派掌门人】
You don't have to change your shoes
你只要爱我就好
You don't have to like Duran Duran
你不一定得放下椅子【喵喵喵啥意思？】
Just love me
你不一定要看新闻
You don't have to put the seat down
你也不用去学探戈
You don't have to watch the news
不用去吃意大利熏火腿
You dont' have to learn to tango
你什么都不需要改变
You don't have to eat prosciutto
只要陪着我，我爱的是现在的你
You don't have to change a thing
我要你，我也只要你
Just stay with me
一切都是你【Genius有解读，这是对应后来在《See，I'm Smiling》Cathy质问Jamie，这一句和上一句都是一样的，是显示Cathy本来钦佩的（Jamie的才华）变成了她所厌恶烦躁的】
I want you and you and nothing but you
最后
Miles and piles of you
我会有些值得思考每一个早上的事
Finally I'll have something worthwhile
你，必须是你
To think about each morning
你是不可代替的
You and you and nothing but you
那么纯粹而美好
No substitution will do
在我心中你在首位，你整个人都是我的
Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
我才不用什么一生的承诺
Top of the line and totally mine!
我们也不用今晚就结婚
I don't need any lifetime commitments
我不要求你放下所有防备，你可以有自己的隐私【但后来Cathy并不是这样(。_。)】
I don't need to get hitched tonight
我不想给你压力
I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses
我自己知道孰对孰错
I don't mean to put on any pressure
我花了一天去整理我的思绪
But I know what a thing is right
我们到了我的房子后，环视了小镇
And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
看了看我们走了多远
When we get to my house, take a look at that town
我也不会再回头了
Take a look at how far I've gone
永远不会
I will never go back
这就感觉我的生活在一步步走向你
Never look back anymoure
从现在起渐渐地远离了过去
And it feels like my life led right to your side
想想你要什么
And will keep me there from now on
你想成为怎样的人
Think about what you wanted
我爱你有多深
Think about what could be
你会搬来和我一起的吧
Think about how I love you
我们是多么美好
Say you'll move in with me
我们一起经历了那么多糟心事
Think of what's great about me and you
想想什么是过去式了，因为我们可以变得更好
Think of the ******** we've both been through
我和你
Think of what's past because we can do better!
携子之手
We can do better!
我们会做得更好！
We can do better than that!
We can do better than that!
