歌曲歌詞
英文
[Verse 1]
Stand there like a ghost
Shaking from the rain
She'll open up the door
And say are you insane
See it's been a long 6 months
And you were too afraid
To tell her what you want
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
Then you say...
[Chorus]
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart,
I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
[Verse 2]
Remind her how it used to be
With pictures in frames
Of kisses on cheeks
Tell her how you must have lost your mind
When you left her all alone
And never told her why
That's how it works
That's how you lost the girl
And now you say...
[Chorus]
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart,
I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
[Bridge]
And you could know
I don't want you to go...
Remind me how it used to be
Pictures in frames, kisses on cheeks
And say you want me...
And then you say...
[Chorus]
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart,
I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
And that's how it works
And it'show you get the girl
And that's how it works
And it'show you got the girl
譯文
[Verse 1]
他像個幽靈般站在那兒，
在雨中瑟瑟發抖。
她會打開門說：“你瘋了嗎？”
看吶，已經六個月這么久了。
而你太害怕告訴她你想要什麼。
可就是這樣奏了效，
你就這樣俘獲她的芳心。
然後你說：
[Chorus]
“無論你會更好還是更糟，我都渴望著你。
我要把你等到地老天荒。
要是我讓你心碎了，
我會讓它復原如初。
我要把你等到地老天荒。”
就是這樣奏效的，
就是這樣俘獲芳心，親愛的啊。
就是這樣奏效的，
就是這樣俘獲芳心，親愛的啊。
[Verse 2]
讓她想起依依往昔，
相框裡的照片上，雙頰有唇的印記。
告訴她，你當時該是多么衝動失迷。
——沒有絲毫的解釋，就獨自與她分離。
就是這樣有了後果，
就是這樣痛失摯愛。
現在你說：
[Chorus]
“無論你會更好還是更糟，我都渴望著你。
我要把你等到地老天荒。
要是我讓你心碎了，
我會讓它復原如初。
我要把你等到地老天荒。”
[Bridge]
你明白了吧，
我一點都不希望你離開。
讓我想起了過去的點點滴滴，
相框裡的照片上，雙頰有唇的印記。
你說渴望著我，
而現在你說…
[Chorus]
“無論你會更好還是更糟，我都渴望著你。
我要把你等到地老天荒。
要是我讓你心碎了，
我會讓它復原如初。
我要把你等到地老天荒。”
就是這樣奏效的，
就是這樣俘獲芳心，親愛的啊。
就是這樣奏效的，
就是這樣俘獲芳心，親愛的啊。
就是這樣奏效的，
就是這樣俘獲芳心，親愛的啊。
就是這樣奏效的，
就是這樣俘獲芳心，親愛的啊。
就是這樣將我搞定，就是這樣讓我著迷啊。
歌曲鑑賞
《How You Get The Girl》 則是專輯後半部分旋律最悅耳的存在，同時也是整張專輯鄉村范兒最濃烈的歌曲，那行雲流水般的吉他和弦Taylor的歌迷們應該再熟悉不過。
