Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
CHORUS:
Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well It’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again
CHORUS
A crowded room Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I’ve found a real love you’ll never fool me again
CHORUS x2
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone
I’ll give it to someone special.
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they’re O.K.
If they don’t give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can’t see the light, that’s right
‘Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, ’cause we are
Chorus:
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That’s all right with me
If they can’t raise my interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don’t let them play
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day, ’cause they are
(chorus)
Living in a material world [material]
Living in a material world
(repeat)
Boys may come and boys may go
And that’s all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they’re after me, ’cause everybody’s
(chorus)
A material, a material, a material, a material world
Living in a material world [material]
Living in a material world
(repeat and fade)

It’s a little bit funny,this feeling inside 在內心深處 我知道這有點可笑
I’m not one of those,who can easily hide 我不是輕易逃避的人
I don’t have much money,but boy if I did 我沒有很多的錢 但是只要我努力
I’ll buy a big house where we both could live 我將會讓我倆住在一棟大房子裡
If I was a sculptor,but then again who knows For a man who makes potions on travelling show
假如我是個雕刻家 或者誰知道呢 也許是個巡迴表演者吧
I know it’s not much,but it’s the best I can do 我知道這不夠好但這是我能力所及的

And you can tell everybody,this is your song 妳可以告訴任何人這是為妳而做的歌
It may be quite simple,but now that is done 歌可能很簡單 但是卻是我的心意
I hope you don’t mind,I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words ,
how wonderful life is while you’re in the world
希望妳不要介意 我把這樣的感覺寫進歌詞裡 妳的到來使我的生命多采多姿
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss 坐在屋頂 踢弄著苔蘚
Well a few of the verses,well they’ve got me quite cross 吟著詩韻
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote the song 但當我寫這首歌時 陽光是如此的溫和
It’s for people like you,that keep it turned on 這就是送給妳的歌 就是妳使我的生命充實的
So excuse me forgetting,but these things I do You see I’ve forgotten,if they’re green or blue
