【听歌练听力】Why? -Annie Lennox

"Why" is the first solo single by the Scottish singer Annie Lennox, released in 1992. It was taken from her debut solo album Diva and reached no.5 in the United Kingdom and number thirty-four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The single also reached no.6 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. The music video won Lennox an award for Best Female Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

 

我放两个版本，一个不是Annie MTV Video的，大家练听力用。

 

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

后面一个是MTV版本，可能有点distracting. 看到这个评论觉得挺好的： 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!
