中英歌词
各位好，欢迎收听可可《听歌学英语》。我是琳达。Adam Green是来自美国纽约的一个唱作人。厚实低沉的嗓音，有种Bob Dylan和Leonard Cohen的经典神韵。跟所有单飞音乐人一样，Adam的作品着重抒发个人情感和看法，里面不乏对生活的自嘲对时事的讽刺以及对名人的吐槽。他的歌说不上惊艳，但是他精巧奇趣的谱曲创意总是能给人带来一种意想不到的听觉享受。今天我们要听到的是来自Adam的We're Not Supposed to Be Lovers。旋律让人怦然心动歌词也是恳切动情的，有人说，每次听这首歌的时候都会想抽烟的冲动，真的吗？

歌词讲解
欢迎回来。一首漫不经心的动人宅男小情歌。讲述了，不被看好的恋情果然以分手告终。迟来的醒悟是‘当初本就不该在一起’，歌词带了股愤恨和嘲讽，隐隐约约觉得是女主的错，而故事的结局是，男主剪掉自己的头发，放下过去，做回了自己。好了，词汇扩展时间到：
