[00:00.000] 作曲 : Carole King
[00:08.30] She says what is it that I've done
[00:11.38] Did you want me to be punished
[00:15.61] When she woke up one day to find
[00:19.77] That he had started to vanish
[00:23.67] But if you overhear voices
[00:27.83] Perhaps you should not be listenin' at all
[00:32.04] Twitch the vigilant lips
[00:33.90] Make a slow sour face
[00:36.38] Said the scandalous whispering
[00:41.69] She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
[00:45.42] As the kids tear down the refrigerator pictures
[00:50.21] She picks up the bills pays off the babysitter
[00:54.53] Because everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
[01:14.82] Once there was a time
[01:16.82] Before you turned strange
[01:19.07] She thought they would be together
[01:20.95] For more than a lifetime
[01:23.11] Look at 'em now
[01:25.24] My how things have changed
[01:27.37] He can tell his sweetheart
[01:31.72] Out of any girl on just a whiff
[01:35.78] And turn it from a candy to a caramel
[01:39.44] And make her hate the silhouette she used to feel
[01:43.70] And say I know nothing about him
[01:57.96] Now what's left of the birthday cake
[02:01.03] Is very beautifully frosted
[02:05.37] An absent father picks up the phone
[02:09.29] To find the number's unlisted
[02:13.46] But while the kids are distracted
[02:17.49] They don't notice she's nervous at all
[02:21.72] But how long will it take
[02:23.84] Not to make a mistake
[02:26.10] When a gentleman comes to call
[02:31.37] She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
[02:35.19] As the kids tear down the refrigerator pictures
[02:39.46] They already know how a woman may advance
[02:43.66] From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance
[02:47.83] And if it's unkind you might as well forget it
[02:51.70] Because everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
[03:01.81] Burnt sugar is so bitter
[03:10.44] Burnt sugar
