Lyrics & Translation

[English]

HEY.

IT'S ONLY YOU.

WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE ARE LOOKING AT A PLAYBOY.

OH, I WANT TO LOOK, TOO.

YIKES! ( laughs)

SO DO YOU THINK THAT THESE PICTURES...

ARE THEY TRYING TO TELL A STORY?

OH, WELL, YEAH, SURE.

I MEAN, LIKE IN THE CASE OF THIS YOUNG WOMAN

SHE HAS LOST HER CLOTHES, SO...

SO SHE RIDES NAKED ON THE HORSE, SHE'S CRYING OUT

"WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY?"

WELL, SHE'S NOT GOING TO FIND THEM

LYING IN THE GRASS LIKE THAT.

( laughing)

GOD...

OH... YEAH.

OH, REMEMBER THE DAYS

WHEN YOU USED TO GO OUT TO THE BARN

LIFT UP YOUR SHIRT AND BEND OVER?

YEAH.

YOU SEE, NOW...

SEE, NOW, I WOULD DATE THIS GIRL.

SHE'S CUTE; SHE'S OUTDOORSY.

YOU KNOW, AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO BUILD A FIRE.

I MEAN, THAT'S GOT TO COME IN HANDY.

HEY, I GOT A QUESTION. MM-HMM?

IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE OF US TO DATE, WHO WOULD IT BE?

I DON'T KNOW.

ME, NEITHER. RACHEL.

WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

ME, NEITHER.

HEY. HEY.

OH, DON'T YOU GUYS LOOK CUTE.

YOU GUYS MAKE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE.

MONICA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NOTHING. I'M JUST TRYING TO RECREATE SOME OF THE FUN

THAT WE HAD AT MY PLACE THE OTHER DAY.

REMEMBER? WHEN YOU PICKED RACHEL OVER ME?

( laughing ): THAT WAS FUNNY.

YES, IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY.

IT WASN'T FUNNY AT ALL.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

WHY DIDN'T YOU PICK ME?

FINE.

THE REASON THAT I WAS LEANING

A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARD RACHEL THAN YOU

IS JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE... KIND OF HIGH MAINTENANCE.

OKAY, LET'S GO TO LUNCH.

THAT... THAT IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE.

YOU THINK I'M HIGH MAINTENANCE?

OKAY, PROVE IT-- I WANT YOU TO WRITE OUT A LIST

AND WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH IT POINT BY POINT.

NO, YOU'RE RIGHT-- YOU'RE EASYGOING.

YOU'RE JUST NOT

AS EASYGOING AS RACHEL.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S JUST MORE... FLEXIBLE

AND-AND MELLOW, THAT'S ALL.

WELL, PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, RACHEL--

SHE'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, YOU KNOW?

YOU CAN JUST WALK ALL OVER HER.

WHAT? WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT, ARE YOU SAYING I'M A PUSHOVER?

I'M NOT A PUSHOVER.

OH, OKAY. YOU'RE NOT A PUSHOVER.

OH, MY... YOU THINK I'M A PUSHOVER.

WELL, WATCH THIS. YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE NOT INVITED TO LUNCH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

I THINK THAT'S PRETTY STRONG, IS WHAT I THINK.

COME ON, MONICA, LET'S GO TO LUNCH.

YOU START WORKING ON THAT LIST!

I CANNOT BELIEVE HER. I KNOW.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO EAT?

OH... OH! I LOVE THAT JAPANESE PLACE.

I'M SICK OF JAPANESE. WE'RE NOT GOING THERE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO IS COOL.

PHOEBE, WE WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND.

OKAY.

SO...

MAYBE I AM A LITTLE HIGH MAINTENANCE

AND MAYBE RACHEL IS A LITTLE BIT OF A PUSHOVER

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE DECIDED THAT YOU ARE?

YES, WE ARE VERY SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS

BUT YOU, PHOEBE, ARE FLAKY.

HA!

THAT'S TRUE.

I AM FLAKY.

SO, WHAT?

YOU'RE JUST, UH, YOU'RE JUST OKAY WITH BEING FLAKY?

YEAH, TOTALLY.

WELL, THEN I'M OKAY WITH BEING HIGH MAINTENANCE.

YEAH, AND I AM OKAY WITH BEING A PUSHOVER.

THAT'S GREAT.

GOOD FOR YOU GUYS!

I AM NOT HIGH MAINTENANCE!

AND I AM NOT A PUSHOVER!

WHO SAID YOU WERE?!

YOU DID! YOU DID!

I'M FLAKY.

I'LL SAY ANYTHING.
