Daddy used to tell me 爸爸曾经告诉我

If I ran too fast I'd fall and hurt myself 如果我跑的太快我会下跌，伤害自己

But the ice cream man would ring his bell 但冰淇淋的人会打铃

And I'd get there before anyone else 而且我在其他人之前到达那里

   

I'd see a puppy in the window 我看见一只小狗在窗口

And I'd run and press my face against the pane 而且我跑，然后按我的脸贴在玻璃窗上

And Daddy'd say slow down girl 和Daddyd说放慢女孩

After all these years I guess nothing has changed 毕竟这些年来，我想一切都没有改变

   

That little girl I knew 那个小女孩，我知道

Ran after you 后然

But she fell this time 不过她倒这个时候

And broke her heart in two 并打破了她的心脏有两种

Hey that's just like a little girl I knew 嘿，这就像一个小女孩，我知道

   

Back home there stands an old house 回到家里站着一个老房子

With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree 随着下一个大橡树栅栏

I can almost see the backyard 我几乎可以看到后院

And a little girl with freckles 并与雀斑的小女孩

That was me 那是我

   

And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and 并有玩具和故事书的梦想，

Lord it seemed I wanted them so bad 上帝似乎我希望他们如此糟糕

Now 20 years have come and gone 20年来来去去

And I'm still chasing things that I can't have 我还在追，我不能有东西

   

That little girl I knew 那个小女孩，我知道

Ran after you 后然

Yes, I'm still that little girl 是的，我还是那个小女孩

   

Daddy I still haven't slowed down yet 爸爸我仍然没有放缓尚未
