歌词
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
我不知道要如何开口跟你说
I can't play with you no more
我不能再和你一块儿玩了
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
我不知道该如何按妈妈说的去做
My friend, the boy next door
我的好朋友，邻家的小男孩
我不能相信人们所说的
I can't believe what people saying
你让头发肆意生长直至垂下
You're gonna let your hair hang down
我乐意坐在那儿工作一整天
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
而你却终日在小镇黑暗处游荡
You're in the darker side of town
我出门时经常会看到你
为何你却对我视而不见？
And when I'm out I see you walking
难道是因为你发现了另一个新游戏
Why don't your eyes see me?
正如妈妈告诉我的那样？
Could it be you've found another game to play
本该如此，哦，一切本该如此，耶，耶
What did mama say to me?
妈妈说这就是一切应有的样子，耶，耶
That's The Way, Oh, That's The Way it oughtta be, yeah, yeah
哦，哦
Mama say That's The Way it oughtta stay, yeah, yeah
昨日我看见你站在河边
Ooh, ooh
为何你的眼中噙满泪水？
所有的鱼儿都躺在脏水里奄奄一息
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
是那些鱼儿让你有感而发吗？
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
昨天我看见你亲吻着小花
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
但所有的生命注定都会消亡
Had they got you hypnotized?
所以我告诉你其实一切都不重要
你只是站在那儿哭泣
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
我不知道再对你说什么好
But all that lives is born to die
当你对我说的一切都充耳不闻
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
但现在正是好机会，来好好回望你过去的所见所想
And all you do is stand and cry
那是一切应有的样子吗？
本该如此
I don't know what to say about it
一切本该如此，哦现在你懂了吗？
When all your ears are turned away
妈妈说过，妈妈说过
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see
那就是一切应有的样子，耶
Is that the way it ought to stay?
啊~啊~~~~~~~
That's the way
That's the way it oughtta be, oh don't you know now
Mama said, mama said
That's the way it's gonna stay, yeah
Ah~ah~~~~~~~
~~end~~
