Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

It was so nice throwing big parties

如此美好，举办盛大的派对

Jump into the pool from the balcony

从阳台跳进游泳池

Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

大家都在香槟海中畅游

And there are no rules when you show up here

到这里来毫无规则可言

Bass beat rattling the chandelier

低音振动，摇晃吊灯

Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

感觉像盖茨比那年一样

So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

为什么你要泼我冷水？

I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates

我摇摇头，关上了大门

This is why we can't have nice things, darling

这就是为什么我们不能拥有好东西，亲爱的

Because you break them, I had to take them away

因为你弄坏了，我只能收起来

This is why we can't have nice things, honey (oh)

这就是为什么我们不能拥有好东西，宝贝（哦）

Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

你以为我听不到你说的所有关于我的话吗？

This is why we can't have nice things

这就是为什么我们不能拥有好东西

It was so nice being friends again

再次成为朋友真的很美好

There I was giving you a second chance

我还给你第二次机会

But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand

但你却在握手时背后捅我一刀

And therein lies the issue, friends don't try to trick you

这就是问题所在，朋友不会想骗你

Get you on the phone and mind-twist you

打电话给你，扭曲你的心思

And so I took an axe to a mended fence

于是我用斧子砍断了修补好的篱笆

But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately (mmm-mmm)

但我不是唯一失去的朋友（嗯嗯）

If only you weren't so shady

要是你别那么阴险就好了

This is why we can't have nice things, darling

这就是为什么我们不能拥有好东西，亲爱的

Because you break them, I had to take them away

因为你弄坏了，我只得收起来

This is why we can't have nice (nice things) things (baby), honey (oh)

这就是为什么我们不能拥有好（好东西）东西（宝贝），宝贝（哦）

Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

你以为我听不到你说的所有关于我的话吗？

This is why we can't have-

这就是为什么我们不能拥有—

Here's a toast to my real friends

向真正的朋友们干杯

They don't care about the he said, she said

他们不在乎那些八卦

And here's to my baby

也为我的宝贝

He ain't reading what they call me lately

他根本不在意他们叫我什么

And here's to my mama

也为我妈

Had to listen to all this drama

听了这些乱七八糟的事

And here's to you

也为你

'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do

因为宽恕是一件美好的事

Hahaha, I can't even say it with a straight face!

哈哈，我都忍不住笑出来了！

This is why we can't have nice things, darling (darling)

这就是为什么我们不能拥有好东西，亲爱的（亲爱的）

Because you break them, I had to take them away
