倫敦大橋垮下來 – S.H.E.

作詞:彭學斌@口袋音樂

編曲:呂紹淳

終於到了你住在的國度 照片中的風景變成實物
昨天我多麼羨慕 今天踏出這一步 感覺竟然像結束

你說的故事都歷歷在目 只有愛情越來越不清楚
以為自己不在乎 看見別人好幸福 愛你愛得太唐突

那體貼 那專注 全都只是為了向我借宿
在異國的天空嚇哭了起來 嚇壞陌生的老外

倫敦大橋垮下來 我也不離開
你的誓言說的太快 像個旅客不斷找路牌

倫敦大橋早看開 陪我在等待
愛情中最大的障礙 不是語言而是愛

你依然擺出該有的風度 暗示這一段美麗的錯誤
一個禮貌的親吻 一個道歉的眼神 都想讓人更舒服

我用力表達我所有想念 你的隨便到了什麼境界
一句堅定的誓言 一句完美的謊言 聽起來沒有差別
那體貼 那專注 全都只是為了向我借宿
在異國的天空嚇哭了起來 嚇壞陌生的老外

倫敦大橋垮下來我也不離開
你的誓言說的太快 像個旅客不斷找路牌

倫敦大橋早看開 陪我在等待
愛情中最大的障礙 不是語言而是愛

London bridge is falling down falling down falling down
London bridge is falling down falling down falling down
London bridge is falling down falling down falling down
Falling down ~

倫敦大橋垮下來我也不離開
你的誓言說的太快 像個旅客不斷找路牌

倫敦大橋早看開 陪我在等待
愛情中最大的障礙 不是語言而是愛
