我放兩個版本，一個不是Annie MTV Video的，大家練聽力用。





How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of ( ) only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your ( ) ( ) ( )
That's why it hurts so bad to ( ) the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth



Tell me...
Why
Why
I may be (  )
I may be (  )
I may be (  ) ( )
But I can still (  ) what you're thinking
And I've (  ) is said too many times
That you'd be (  ) off
Besides...
Why can't you see this ( ) is ( )
Let's go down to the ( ) edge
And we can ( ) away those ( )
Some things are better left ( )
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why
This is the ( ) I never ( )
These are the ( ) I never ( )
This is the ( ) I'll never ( )
These are the ( ) I'll ( ) instead
This is the ( ) that's ( ) ( )
These are the tears...
The tears we ( )
This is the ( )
This is the ( )
These are the ( ) of my ( )
And these are the years that we have ( )
And this is what they ( )
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel ?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel


後麵一個是MTV版本，可能有點distracting. 看到這個評論覺得挺好的： I have to agree that after watching the videos (instead of just listening to her songs) this lady is very complex. She portrays these grandiose guises in the videos, but just listen to her words. I think under all the bluff and bluster, she's a lady in pain. BUT, people in pain are often the greatest artists!
