本曲大意

歌者悲叹他的女人已弃他而去。他承认伤了她的心，使她拂袖而去。他现在很寂寞，却也想知道她为何要离开他。歌者也怀疑他的女人是否真正爱他抑或只是玩弄他而已。尽管如此，他还是很想念她。唉，既知如此又何必当初呢？

英文歌词

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.

歌词翻译
我的心肝宝贝离开了，顺着那条路线一直去。不知道哪儿，不知道哪儿，真不知她要前往哪儿？我伤心欲绝，也使她哭泣。如今我形单影只。好孤单。我又能如何？我又能如何？对了，我想要知道她是否爱过我。她真的爱过我吗？抑或她只是把我当傻瓜来玩弄？不知道她为何要离我而去。她只留下孤单给我又是为何？让我那么孤单。我只是想要告诉她我爱她。还要告诉她我需要她，贴在我身边当向导。我想要知道我的心肝宝贝在哪儿。喔，我的心肝宝贝啊。我想要我的心肝宝贝。我需要我的心肝宝贝，是的。
