I Told You I Was Mean – 英语/中文 双语歌词

歌词与翻译

[中文]

我骗了你

我从未为你哭泣

发誓我尝试过

但我有更重要的事要做

现在你在路上

背负着痛苦的负担

而我说过的话

让你那颗真心碎了，啊

尽管你还在纠缠

因为爱是穷人的专利

所以我让你在门外敲门

在我家门外

你知道这是什么

我不再想要你了

我之前就警告过你

我之前就警告过你

我发誓，我告诉过你我很刻薄

...

你曾经是那么甜蜜

而我很孤独，所以我让你拥抱我

但只有短暂的时间

只有你知道

你对我来说什么都不是

因为我永远会是

一个坏胚子，没错

尽管你还在纠缠

因为爱是穷人的专利

所以我让你在门外敲门，在我家门外

你知道这是什么

我不再想要你了

我之前就警告过你

我之前就警告过你

我发誓，我告诉过你我很刻薄

哼哼哈，哼哼

我只是个刻薄的老东西

哼哼哈，哼哼

...

没必要再纠缠了

因为爱是穷人的专利

所以别再敲门了

因为我永远不会开门，永远不会

你知道这是什么

我已经告诉过你了，永远

我之前就警告过你，嘿宝贝

我之前就警告过你，哦亲爱的

我发誓

我告诉过你我很刻薄

哼哼哈，哼哼

我只是个刻薄的老东西

哼哼哈，哼哼

...

[英语]

I lied to you

I never cried for you

Swear that I tried to

But I have better things to do

Now you're on the road

With your painful load

And the words I spoke

Left your big heart broke, aye

And though you still bother

Because love is for the poor

So I left you knocking

Outside my front door

You knew what this was

I don't want you anymore

I warned you before

I warned you before

That I could've sworn, I told you I was mean

You were a sweet old thing

And I was lonely, so I let you hold me

For a limited time

Only you see

You're nothing to me

'Cause I'll always be

A bad, bad seed and yeah

And though you still bother

Because love is for the poor

So I left you knocking outside my front door

You knew what this was

I don't want you anymore

I warned you before

I warned you before

Well I could've sworn, I told you I was mean

Dum di dah, dum, dum

I'm just a mean ol' thing

Dum di dah, dum, dum

Ain't no use to bother

Because love is for the poor

So cut out your knockin'

'Cause I will never come, I will never come to the door

You knew just what this was

And I told what you for evermore

I warned you before, hey baby

I warned you before, oh honey

Well I could've sworn

I told you I was mean

Dum di dah, dum, dum

I'm just a mean ol' thing

Dum di dah, dum, dum
