Lonely At The Bottom(Album Version) - Kathy Mattea

We were buddies once upon a time
我们曾经是好朋友
And then you took off on your social climb
后来你结交权贵，事业飞黄腾达
But fortune only brought you misery
可财富只带给了你痛苦
And now you're cryin' out for sympathy
现在你那么需要怜悯
Well it's lonely at the top
有钱人很孤独
Yea it's lonely at the top
是的，有钱人很孤独
Well if this workin' girl were you
如果你是那个努力工作的小女孩
She'd just enjoy the view
她会懂得欣赏景色
'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too
因为没钱同样也孤独
Lonely at the bottom too
没钱也会孤独
You're livin' high on easy street
你的生活优越花销奢侈
And we're just tryin' to make ends meet
我们却拮据度日捉襟见肘
If you get tired of the grind
如果你对苦的工作厌倦了
We'll I'll take your place and honey you take mine
我们互换位置吧
Well it's lonely at the top
有钱人很孤独
Yea it's lonely at the top
是的，有钱人很孤独
Well if this workin' girl were you
如果你是那个努力工作的小女孩
She'd just enjoy the view
她会懂得欣赏景色
'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too
因为没钱同样也孤独
Lonely at the bottom too
没钱也会孤独
Like a kitten in the neighbor's tree
就像邻居家小树上的猫咪
Climbin' up to see what you could see
爬上去想看看你能看到的东西
Now you're cryin' 'cause you need some help
现在你在哭泣，因为你需要帮助
Well everybody's got to help themselves
每个人都只会帮助自己

All the way up there all by yourself
以后的路都只能靠你自己

如果你是那个努力工作的小女孩
She'd just enjoy the view
她会懂得欣赏景色
