I'll never fall in love again
BY BOBBIE GENTRY
What do you get
When you fall in love
A girl with a pin
To burst your bubble
That's what you get
For all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get
When you kiss a guy
You get enough germs
To catch peneumonia
After you do he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
I've been there
And I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains
Those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here
To remind you
What do you get
When you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
1、Bobbie Gentry remains one of the most interesting and underappreciated artists to emerge out of Nashville during the late '60s. Best-known for her crossover smash "Ode to Billie Joe," she was one of the first female country artists to write and produce much of her own material, forging an idiosyncratic, pop-inspired sound that, in tandem with her glamorous, bombshell image, anticipated the rise of latter-day superstars like Shania Twain and Faith Hill. Of Portuguese descent, Gentry was born Roberta Streeter in Chickasaw County, MS, on July 27, 1944; her parents divorced shortly after her birth and she was raised in poverty on her grandparents' farm. After her grandmother traded one of the family's milk cows for a neighbor's piano, seven-year-old Bobbie composed her first song, "My Dog Sergeant Is a Good Dog," years later self-deprecatingly reprised in her nightclub act; at 13, she moved to Arcadia, CA, to live with her mother, soon beginning her performing career in local country clubs. The 1952 film Ruby Gentry lent the singer her stage surname.

=A GUY WILL COME ALONG AND RAIN ON YOUR PARADE。
一个小伙子回闯入你的心扉，然后扫你的兴，破坏你的美梦。
RAIN ON PARADE：请想象一下在游行时突然下起雨来，是多么的扫兴呀。
3、That's what you get For all your trouble
=THAT’S THE KIND OF THING YOU GET FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS。
这一句话有抱怨男方“狼心狗肺”、不珍惜她的TROUBLE（不厌其烦的努力，相当于EFFORTS）
