She was sixteen and six feet tall 她十六岁，身高六英尺

In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo 在人群中青少年科曼走出动物园

She stumbled started to slip and fall 她迷迷糊糊开始滑倒

Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes 蒂特，蹒跚的漆皮皮鞋的顶部

I happened to catch her and said, 我正好赶上了她，说：

"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you" “也许这些红宝石鞋是有点麻烦的你”

   

Maybe for you, now 也许对你来说，现在

   

But not as shaky as I must have seemed 但没有摇晃的，因为我必须有似乎

Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream 在说通过她咯咯“垃圾，小十几岁的梦想

And on the phone I could not compete 而在手机上，我可以不竞争

My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak 我哑爱假的能力是越来越弱

For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet 一秒钟“我想我听起来甜蜜

But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice 但肯定“ nough在粗哑，微弱的声音

I heard myself speak 我听见自己说话
