听歌学英语:我愿意 I Do

Colbie Caillat受父亲（Ken Caillat）影响，从小接受古典钢琴训练，19岁时学习吉他，第一堂课结束就用吉他写下第一首歌曲。可是她的作品被音乐发行商看作是“陈词滥调”。喜爱音乐，却没有任何途径，于是她决定搬到夏威夷，改行作摄影师。2006年9月，蔻比在博客上发表单曲《Bubbly〔阳光微笑〕》和《The Little Things〔小事情〕》。动听的吉他伴奏加上她轻盈悦耳的嗓音，Colbie很快得到网民的偏爱及推崇。她的音乐打动了无数的听众，歌曲的点击量也打动了音乐发行商。

It's always been about me, myself, and I
I thought relationships² were nothing but a waste of time
I never wanted to be anybody's other half
I was happy saying I had a love that wouldn't last
That was the only way I knew 'til I met you

You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Yeah, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before it's been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I can't live without it, I can't let it go. Oh what did I get myself into?
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Tell me is it only me
Do you feel the same?
You know me well enough to know that I'm not playing games
I promise I won't turn around and I won't let you down
You can trust I've never felt it like I feel it now
Baby there's nothing, there's nothing we can't get through
So can we say

I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it's been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
What more can I get myself into?
You make we wanna say
Me, a family, a house, a family
Ooh, can we be a family?
And when I'm eighty years old I'm sitting next to you
And we'll remember when we said
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do

Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it's been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let us go
Just look at what we got ourselves into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Love you
