Written by：Joan Armatrading

He's from Ohio
他来自俄亥俄州
Lives with his mother
与母亲相依为命
He loves the woman
深爱着那个女孩
Who loves his brother
她却钟情于他的兄长
What can he do now
此刻他能如何
As she walks across the floor
当她翩然走过身旁
Here comes his brother
他的哥哥迎面而来
Walking sideways through the door
斜倚门框笑意张扬
Was the same at school
校园生活亦是如此
He played the fool
他总装疯卖傻
Or took a back seat
或是退居幕后
While Simon ruled
任西蒙称王
He played by himself a lot
他常独自玩耍
And people called him shy
人们说他腼腆内向
His mother said be more friendly
母亲劝他要友善些
And he would ask her why
他却追问为何这样
Has Simon got to be more friendly
西蒙非得装得更友善吗
And do I have to be like him
我是否也要活成他的模样
And mother said
这时母亲轻声说
No son
好孩子
Gotta be yourself
你只需做自己
Be more like I tell you
照我说的去做就好
You get a be like me
你要活出我的样子
Be like I tell you
按我说的去做就好
Be like me
要像我一样
Now when Kathleen
当凯瑟琳
Came on the scene
出现在眼前
He saw her first
他先看见了她
And then Simon spoke
然后西蒙开口
He took her to places
带她去那些
That completely turned her head
让她目眩神迷的地方
Gave her practical things
送她实用的礼物
Like diamonds for her neck
为她颈间戴上钻石项链
Has Simon got to be so friendly
西蒙非得如此殷勤吗
Sometimes he makes me want to kill
有时他让我怒火中烧
Look at 'em dancing
看他们翩翩起舞
While he's standing by the wall
而他独自倚靠墙边
There's gonna be trouble
离别的时刻来临
When the time to leave is called
必将掀起波澜
And Simon won't be feeling friendly
那时西蒙再难维持友善
He'll be lying too close to the floor
他蜷缩着贴近地面
And mother said
这时母亲轻声说
Oh son yourself
孩子啊要做自己
Be more like I tell you
照我说的去做就好
You gotta be like me
你必须学我的样子
Be like that tell you
按我说的那样做
You gotta be yourself
但你要活出自我
Be like that tell you
按我说的那样做
Be yourself
做真实的自己就好
