英语PK台 第223期:蕾哈娜-《Take A Bow》

 Song: Take A Bow

Artist: Rihanna

Part 1

You look so dumb right now

Standing¹ outside my house 

Trying to apologize 

You're so ugly when you cry

Please, just cut it out

Don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not 

Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show 

You really had me going 

But now it's time to go 了

Curtain's finally closing 

That was quite a show 

Very entertaining 

But it's over now

Go on and take a bow 

Part2 (Verse）

Grab your clothes and get gone 

You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on

Talkin' about, girl, I love you, you're the one 

This just looks like the re-run 

Please, what else is on 

Don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not 

Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show 

You really had me going

But now it's time to go 

Curtain's finally closing

That was quite a show 

Very entertaining

But it's over now

Go on and take a bow

And the award for the best liar² goes to you 

For makin' me believe

That you could be faithful to me

Let's hear your speech out

How about a round of applause

A standing ovation³
