听歌学英语:她是我的唯一 She’s Always A Woman

女孩结婚、生子、衰老——掠过了这简单却温馨的一生。不过，用短短1分半的时间就讲完女人这几十年的一辈子。今天带来一首"She's Always a Woman",来自于Billy Joel 比利·乔。Billy Joel 1949年5月9日出生于纽约的希克斯维尔。美国著名歌手。4岁就开始接受钢琴训练，虽然7岁时父亲的弃家，使他和母亲二人陷于困境，但比利·乔从未放弃对音乐的浓厚兴趣。1968年比利·乔就以一名自弹自唱的民谣歌手形象出现在歌坛上，多年不得志的日子并没有使比利·乔失掉音乐创作的信心，反而使他愈挫愈勇，坚守自己独树一帜的创作风格，终于在Bee　Gees把迪斯科带向疯狂的时期，今天要送给各位的"She's Always a Woman"没有迪斯科那样的热情，但却有一腔柔情，希望大家能够喜欢。

She can kill with a smile she can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual¹ lies
And she only reveals² what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me
Oh she takes care of herself she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself cause she's always a woman to me
Oh she takes care of herself she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh and she never gives out and she never gives in

She can do as she pleases she's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted³ she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
