Joni was the girl who lived next door   简妮是那个，邻家的女孩
I've known her I guess 10 years or more  认识她约有，十年以上唻 
Joni wrote me a note one day         那一天简妮，写纸条给我 
And this is what she had to say       怀春的少女，她要话要说 

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me    吉米请你答应，你将等着我
I'll grow up someday you'll see       某天我会长大，会让你着魔
Savin' all my kisses just for you     珍藏我的初吻，只为一个你 
Signed with love forever true       步入爱的长河，永远不分离 

Slowly I read her note once more       慢慢读那纸条，一遍又一遍
Then I went over to the house next door  我来到邻居家，和简妮相见 
Her teardrops fell like rain that day   轻轻告诉女孩，我们不适合
When I told Joni what I had to say     姑娘的泪水那，如大雨滂沱 

Joni, Joni, please don't cry       简妮啊简妮，阿妹不要哭 
You'll forget me by and by        你会忘掉我，爱似有还无 
You're just fifteen I'm twenty two    你刚刚十五，我已二十几 
Joni I just can't wait for you      看如此差距，我不能等你 

Soon I left our little home town     不久离开了，家乡的小城 
Got me a job and tried to settle down   找到了工作，生活求安定 
But her words kept haunting my memory   女孩的话语，敲打着记忆
The words that Joni said to me      简妮的真情，总不能忘记 

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me   吉米请你答应，你将等着我
I'll grow up someday you'll see     某天我会长大，会让你着魔 
Savin' all my kisses just for you    珍藏我的初吻，只为一个你
Signed with love forever true      步入爱的长河，永远不分离

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane 打好了背包，登上了飞机 
I had to see Joni, I had to explain    我要去解释，要去见简妮 
How my heart was filled with her memory  告诉她我心，对她的思念 
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me     向简妮求婚，要永远相伴 

I ran all the way to the house next door  我一路奔跑，来到邻居家
But things weren't like they were before  一切都变了，她已不是她 
My teardrops fell like rain that day    简妮告诉我，多年的经历
When I heard what Joni had to say     听到她的事，我泪奔如雨 

Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry           吉米啊吉米，阿哥莫要哭 
You'll forget me by and by             你会忘掉我，爱似有还无 
It's been five years since you've been gone  自从你走后，漫漫已五年 
Jimmy I married your best friend John.     我已嫁给了，你最好的朋友 － 约翰
