歌词与翻译

[中文]

她的名字叫Kitty

她靠美貌和智慧赚钱

他们给她这座城市的钥匙

然后他们说她来路不正

我买了张票

她穿着吊袜带和丝网袜跳舞

剧团里五十个人，一步不差

回想起来，这一定是天意

我在后台门口等着

挤在一群签名狂热粉丝里

大声喊着她的名字

然后像烟头一样闪耀着

哇，她出来了

我说：“你在实现我的梦想。”

然后她对我说

“嘿，谢谢你可爱的花束

你比桃子还甜

但你不懂秀场女孩的人生，宝贝

而且你永远不会

等等，你玩得越多，付出的就越多

你比小猫还温柔，所以

你不懂秀场女孩的人生，宝贝

而且你永远不会想要”

她是个麻烦制造者

Lenox家里最小的孩子

她父亲像所有男人一样寻欢作乐

她母亲吃药打网球

所以她在后台门口等着

当俱乐部老板到来时

她说：“我愿意出卖灵魂，只为品尝辉煌的人生，那属于我。”

但那不是秀场女孩得到的

他们让我们死翘翘

“嘿，谢谢你可爱的花束

你比桃子还甜

但你不懂秀场女孩的人生，宝贝

而且你永远不会

等等，你玩得越多，付出的就越多

你比小猫还温柔，所以

你不懂秀场女孩的人生，宝贝

而且你永远不会想要”

我采纳了她的珍贵智慧

挂在脖子上

我用每处淤青支付了学费

我知道会发生什么

你想溜进我血管里的冰面吗？

他们像假睫毛一样把我骗了

然后把我扔掉

所有舞厅墙上的头像照

都是那些婊子

她们巴不得我快点死

但我现在永生了，宝贝们

即使想死也死不了……

所以我说

“谢谢你可爱的花束

我嫁给了这份忙碌

现在我懂了秀场女孩的人生，宝贝

我再也不想别的

痛苦藏在口红和蕾丝下

亮片永存，现在我懂了秀场女孩的人生，宝贝

我不会想其他方式”

谢谢你可爱的花束

我不会想其他方式

谢谢你可爱的花束

嘿，Kitty

现在我靠美貌和智慧赚钱

谢谢你可爱的花束

谢谢你一个难忘的夜晚

我们下次见

为大家鼓掌

还有舞者们

当然还有Sabrina

我爱你，Taylor！

我们的演出结束了

我们非常爱你们

晚安！

[英语]

Her name was Kitty

Made her money being pretty and witty

They gave her the keys to this city

Then they said she didn't do it legitly

I bought a ticket

She's dancing in her garters and fishnets

50 in the cast, zero missteps

Looking back I guess it was kismet

I waited by the stage door

Packed in with the autograph hounds

Barking her name

Then glowing like the end of a cigarette

Wow, she came out

I said, "You're living my dream."

Then she said to me

"Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You're sweeter than a peach

But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play the more that you pay

You're softer than a kitten so

You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never gonna wanna"

She was a menace

The baby of the family in Lenox

Her father whored around like all men did

Her mother took pills and played tennis

So she waited by the stage door

As the club promoter arrived

She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life, that's all mine."

But that's not what showgirls get

They leave us for dead

"Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You're sweeter than a peach

But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play the more that you pay

You're softer than a kitten so

You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never gonna wanna"

I took her pearls of wisdom

Hung them from my neck

I paid my dues with every bruise

I knew what to expect

You wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins

They ripped me off like false lashes

And then threw me away

And all the headshots on the walls

of the dance hall are of the bitches

who wish I'd hurry up and die

But, I'm immortal now, baby dolls

I couldn't if I tried ...

So I say

"Thank you for the lovely bouquet

I'm married to the hustle

And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

And I'll never know another

Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace

Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

Wouldn't have it any other way"

Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Wouldn't have it any other way

Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Hey Kitty

Now I make my money being pretty and witty

Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Thank you for an unforgettable night

We will see you next time

Give it up for the band

And the dancers

And of course, Sabrina

I love you, Taylor!

That's our show

We love you so much

Goodnight!
