Joni was the girl who lived next door   簡妮是那個，鄰家的女孩
I've known her I guess 10 years or more  認識她約有，十年以上唻 
Joni wrote me a note one day         那一天簡妮，寫紙條給我 
And this is what she had to say       懷春的少女，她要話要說 

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me    吉米請你答應，你將等着我
I'll grow up someday you'll see       某天我會長大，會讓你着魔
Savin' all my kisses just for you     珍藏我的初吻，只為一個你 
Signed with love forever true       步入愛的長河，永遠不分離 

Slowly I read her note once more       慢慢讀那紙條，一遍又一遍
Then I went over to the house next door  我來到鄰居家，和簡妮相見 
Her teardrops fell like rain that day   輕輕告訴女孩，我們不適合
When I told Joni what I had to say     姑娘的淚水那，如大雨滂沱 

Joni, Joni, please don't cry       簡妮啊簡妮，阿妹不要哭 
You'll forget me by and by        你會忘掉我，愛似有還無 
You're just fifteen I'm twenty two    你剛剛十五，我已二十幾 
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     不久離開了，家鄉的小城 
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   女孩的話語，敲打着記憶
The words that Joni said to me      簡妮的真情，總不能忘記 

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me   吉米請你答應，你將等着我
I'll grow up someday you'll see     某天我會長大，會讓你着魔 
Savin' all my kisses just for you    珍藏我的初吻，只為一個你
Signed with love forever true      步入愛的長河，永遠不分離

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane 打好了背包，登上了飛機 
I had to see Joni, I had to explain    我要去解釋，要去見簡妮 
How my heart was filled with her memory  告訴她我心，對她的思念 
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me     向簡妮求婚，要永遠相伴 

I ran all the way to the house next door  我一路奔跑，來到鄰居家
But things weren't like they were before  一切都變了，她已不是她 
My teardrops fell like rain that day    簡妮告訴我，多年的經歷
When I heard what Joni had to say     聽到她的事，我淚奔如雨 

Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry           吉米啊吉米，阿哥莫要哭 
You'll forget me by and by             你會忘掉我，愛似有還無 
It's been five years since you've been gone  自從你走後，漫漫已五年 
Jimmy I married your best friend John.     我已嫁給了，你最好的朋友 － 約翰
