《China Girl》的歌詞如下:
I was a China girl
With the earrings that you gave to me
And the hair that was black as the night
But the eyes were made out of the blue of the morning
I was a China girl
With the body made out of porcelain
And the skin was white like the moon
But my heart was made out of the fire and stone of the sun
I met a boy from New York City
He said to me, "Come with me, I'll take you to Paris"
I said, "I'm Chinese, you're American
You can't tell me I belong anywhere but China"
(Chorus)
He said, "I'm going back to my country
With my feet on your soil"
"When you wake up in China"
"The sun is in your eyes"
"Oh, you will never leave this room again"
"The fire will light up your life like I've lit up my room"
I was a China girl
With a heart that was made out of porcelain
And I dreamed of a boy from New York City
And I dreamed of Paris and I dreamed of China
He said, "I'm going back to my country"
"With my feet on your soil"
"When you wake up in China"
"The sun is in your eyes"
"Oh, you will never leave this room again"
"The fire will light up your life like I've lit up my room"
(Chorus)
And now I'm back in China
And I'm standing on my own again
But I know that I belong here
In this land that I love so much more than I ever knew that I could.
