原歌词

[00:00.00]
[00:40.80]	Well there never was a girl like Lily,
[00:44.52]	She was a pretty little heartbreak machine,
[00:48.40]	She had a way to part a fool and his money,
[00:52.18]	She was a lucky little gambler’s dream
[00:56.06]	Yeah and she promised up the world and whatever,
[00:59.82]	And she could get a man to do anything,
[01:03.66]	And by the morning he’d be cleaned out and crawling on his knees,
[01:07.56]	But every night you’ll hear some poor fool sing
[01:11.24]	He said: “I may not be a rich man, maybe,
[01:14.96]	Oh but I tell you what I’m gonna do,
[01:18.86]	I’m gonna take you out tonight in the city,
[01:22.72]	I’m gonna spend all my money on you”
[01:26.54]	She’d take a seat up at the bar around seven,
[01:30.32]	And wait for some poor sucker stumbling by,
[01:34.04]	Yeah then she’d pull him in and drag him on under,
[01:37.96]	Yeah and she’d drown him in those big, dark eyes
[01:41.74]	And with the moonlight breaking through a little crack in the sky,
[01:45.52]	Well he was broken and the damage was done,
[01:49.32]	He’d give up everything he had for a love that could never be,
[01:53.14]	Yeah he’d be screaming at the top of his lungs
[01:57.02]	He said: “I may not be a rich man, baby,
[02:00.86]	Oh but I tell you what I’m gonna do,
[02:04.58]	I’m gonna take you out tonight in the city,
[02:08.42]	I’m gonna spend all my money on you”
[02:11.54]
[02:42.78]	One day there came into town some kind of big shot man,
[02:46.42]	All full of swagger like some Hollywood scene,
[02:50.32]	I tried to tell him: “Stay away from Miss Lily,
[02:54.10]	That woman’s trouble, if you know what I mean?”
[02:57.94]	Well he just laughed and said: “I think I can take care of myself”,
[03:01.72]	I said: “Well don’t pretend you haven’t been warned”,
[03:05.52]	They found him walking in the morning by the side of the road,
[03:09.36]	Yeah he was naked as the day he was born
[03:13.16]	He said: “I may not be a rich man, baby,
[03:17.22]	Oh but I tell you what I’m gonna do,
[03:20.82]	I’m gonna take you out tonight in the city,
[03:24.60]	I’m gonna spend all my money on you”
[03:28.44]	He said: “I may not be a rich man, baby,
[03:32.22]	Oh but I tell you what I’m gonna do,
[03:36.04]	I’m gonna take you out tonight in the city,
[03:39.78]	I’m gonna spend all my money on you”
[03:43.04]

歌词翻译

[00:40.80]	从来没有一个女孩喜欢莉莉
[00:44.52]	她虽然漂亮但是是一个玻璃心女孩
[00:48.40]	她总有一种方法来试图愚弄他的钱
[00:52.18]	她是一个幸运的小赌徒的一个迷人的梦想
[00:56.06]	是的，她对上帝发誓，无论如何
[00:59.82]	她可以使唤一个人为她做一些事情
[01:03.66]	到了早上她会让他用他的双膝去滚开家门
[01:07.56]	但每天晚上你都会听到一些可怜的傻瓜在引吭高歌
[01:11.24]	他说：“虽然我不是有钱人
[01:14.96]	但我告诉你我要做什么
[01:18.86]	我会带你去大城市去见见世面
[01:22.72]	我要把所有赚到的的钱都花在你身上”
[01:26.54]	她大约七点的时候已经坐在吧台上了
[01:30.32]	一些可怜的人宁愿在牡丹花下死做鬼也风流
[01:34.04]	那么她会把他拉进来，把他拖下来
[01:37.96]	那些可怜的人总是会迷失在她闪烁的大眼睛里
[01:41.74]	随着月光突破在天空中的一个小裂缝
[01:45.52]	他总是宁愿放弃物质
[01:49.32]	他会放弃他所拥有的一切去寻找那个永远不会成为他爱人的她
[01:53.14]	是的，他会对着她引吭高歌
[01:57.02]	他说：“虽然我不是有钱人，
[02:00.86]	但我告诉你我要做什么，
[02:04.58]	我会带你去大城市去见见世面
[02:08.42]	我要把所有赚到的的钱都花在你身上”
[02:42.78]	有一天，有个大人物来到这个小镇
[02:46.42]	他总是大摇大摆的好像好莱坞一个明星一样
[02:50.32]	我试图告诉他：“远离莉莉小姐，
[02:54.10]	那女人是个麻烦，你明白我的意思吗？”
[02:57.94]	他只是笑了，说：“我想我可以照顾自己”
[03:01.72]	我说：“好吧，不要假装你没有被警告”
[03:05.52]	第二天一早他们发现他孤零零的在路边
[03:09.36]	是的没错，他是赤身裸体的
[03:13.16]	他说：“宝贝虽然我不是有钱人，
[03:17.22]	但我告诉你我要做什么，
[03:20.82]	我会带你去大城市去见见世面
[03:24.60]	我要把所有赚到的的钱都花在你身上”
[03:28.44]	他说：“宝贝虽然我不是有钱人，
[03:32.22]	但我告诉你我要做什么，
[03:36.04]	我会带你去大城市去见见世面
[03:39.78]	我要把所有赚到的的钱都花在你身上”
