Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things 大，大事小男孩和小女孩的梦想

They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring 他们小小年纪就只是教什么样的生活应该带

Get a job say I do and settle yourself down 找到一份工作，说我做的，自己定居下来

But what about those of us whose lives are still spinnin' around 但对于我们这些他们的生活仍然在旋转绕

Tell me what's so great about picket fences 告诉我什么了不起栅栏

Paintin' them is such a mess Paintin “他们是这么乱

And a big back yard where kids can play 和一个大的后院，孩子们可以玩

I'd probably never get a moments rest 我可能永远不会得到片刻休息

And setting the table for five at five 并设置表五五

Only means more dishes to load 只意味着更多的菜来加载

What's so great about picket fences 有什么了不起栅栏

I guess I'll never know 我想我永远也不会知道

   

Here I am in my prime at least they tell me so 在这里，我在我的黄金至少他们是这样告诉我

And if I go to sleep at night I always go alone 如果我去睡觉，晚上我总是一个人去

I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side 我想我能拥有这一切，有人在我身边

But I can't take the give and take the price is just too high 但是，我不能拿互谅互让的价格太高了
