我记得那天我借用你的新车,
我弄坏了它
我以为你一定会杀了我
但是你没有
我记得那天拖你去海滩
而它真如你所说的下雨了
我以为你会说“我告诉过你”
但是你没有
我记得那天我和所有男人调情好让你嫉妒
而你真的嫉妒了
我以为你一定会离开我
但是你没有
我记得那天在你新买的地毯上
吐了满地的草莓饼
我以为你一定会厌恶我
但是你没有
记得有一次我忘记告诉你那个舞会是穿礼服的
而只穿了牛仔裤的你大出洋相
我以为你必然要放弃我了
但是你没有
是的
有许多的事你都没有做
而你容忍我钟爱我保护我
有许多许多的事情我要回报你
等你从越南归来
但是你没有

英文原版:
Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me,
but you didn't.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it would rain,
and it did?I thought you'd say,
"I told you so."
But you didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous,
and you were?
I thought you'd leave,
but you didn't.
Do you remember the time I spilledstrawberrypie all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me,
but you didn't.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me,
but you didn't.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.But you put up with me,
and loved me,
andprotectedme.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn't.
