Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

你說我比大笨鐘還笨要怎麼比 吵架我太安靜鐘至少還有聲音

You say I'm dumber than a big clock, how can I compare? In an argument, I'm too quiet; at least the clock makes a sound.

要我離開我早就打包好行李 喝完這杯咖啡我就走答應你

If you want me to leave, I would have packed my bags long ago. After finishing this cup of coffee, I’ll leave, I promise you.

過這麼久怎麼還沒叫我還你DVD 再不打給我我就不打算追回你

After such a long time, why haven't you asked me to return your DVD? If you don't call me soon, I won't plan on chasing you back.

我走在你喜歡的電影場景裡 你卻不在我想要的場景裡

I'm walking in the movie scene you like, but you're not in the scene I want.

耍什麼嘴硬 耍 耍什麼嘴硬

What are you being stubborn about? What are you being stubborn about?

有什麼毛病 有 有什麼毛病

What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?

我很大器 我沒你小氣 我會原諒你

I'm very generous; I'm not petty like you. I will forgive you.

你仔細聽

Listen carefully.

我從未愛過你 怎麼會想念你

I have never loved you, so how could I miss you?

發什麼神經 有理說不清 只是腦袋還不清醒

What are you going crazy about? It's hard to explain; my mind just isn't clear yet.

其實還愛著你 其實還想著你 Yeah

Actually, I still love you; actually, I still think about you, yeah.

請你別太得意

Please don't be too smug.
