本曲大意

歌者悲嘆他的女人已棄他而去。他承認傷了她的心，使她拂袖而去。他現在很寂寞，卻也想知道她為何要離開他。歌者也懷疑他的女人是否真正愛他抑或只是玩弄他而已。盡管如此，他還是很想念她。唉，既知如此又何必當初呢？

英文歌詞

There goes my baby, moving on down the line. Wondering where, wondering where, wondering where she is bound. I broke her heart and made her cry. Now Im alone. So all alone. What can I do? What can I do? Yeah, I want to know. Did she love me? Did she really love me? Was she just playing me for a fool? I wonder why she left me. Why did she leave me so all alone? So all alone. I just wanna tell her that I love her and that I need her beside my side to be my guide. I wanna know. Where is my baby? Oh, my baby. I want my baby. I need my baby, yeah.

歌詞翻譯

我的心肝寶貝離開了，順著那條路線一直去。不知道哪兒，不知道哪兒，真不知她要前往哪兒？我傷心欲絕，也使她哭泣。如今我形單影只。好孤單。我又能如何？我又能如何？對了，我想要知道她是否愛過我。她真的愛過我嗎？抑或她只是把我當傻瓜來玩弄？不知道她為何要離我而去。她只留下孤單給我又是為何？讓我那么孤單。我只是想要告訴她我愛她。還要告訴她我需要她，貼在我身邊當向導。我想要知道我的心肝寶貝在哪兒。喔，我的心肝寶貝啊。我想要我的心肝寶貝。我需要我的心肝寶貝，是的。

2.Wondering where, wondering where, wondering where she is bound.
不知道哪兒，不知道哪兒，真不知她要前往哪兒。
→I wonder where she is going.
我不知道她到哪兒去了。
Where is she bound?　　她要去哪里？
=Where is she going?
bound a. 前往的 (常與介詞for并用, 形成下列重要用法)
be bound for + 地方　　前往……

3.Was she just playing me for a fool?
抑或她只是把我當傻瓜來玩弄？

=take sb for a fool
例:Jake thought that Karen really loved him, but she was just playing him for a fool.

4.I just wanna tell her that I love her and that I need her beside my side to be my guide.
我只是想要告訴她我愛她。還要告訴她我需要她，貼在我身邊當向導。
＊以上句子使用連接詞and, 連接二個對等的that子句 (that I love her　及that I need her), 共作tell her的直接受詞。
