Time and time again I've felt these wall's of plaster, closing in, 一次又一次，我觉得这些墙上的灰泥，收盘在，

And more than once I've felt that lonely lonely feeling, 不止一次，我觉得孤单寂寞的感觉，

Wondering why and where I've been, 不知道为什么和我去过的地方，

Just about the time, I think I can't hold on, 差不多的时候，我想我不能坚持下去，

You're always there to keep me hanging on and I say, 你总是让我挂在和我说，

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

I never knew how much a man needed a woman 我从来不知道有多少男人需要一个女人

(No I never) （不，我从来没有）

I never knew how much a boy needed a girl 我从来不知道有多少个孩子需要一个女孩

(Needed a girl) （所需女孩）

I never knew how much I needed you 我从来不知道我是多么需要你

   

Day after day I join the rat race, 我天天参加激烈的竞争，

Tryin' to make the most of it, 试着去充分利用它，

I keep on falling down down the ladder, 我一直在坠落下来的梯子，

Still trying to stay on top of it, 还是想留在它的上面，

Just when I was sure, 只是当我确信，

Nothing could get no better, 什么也拿不出更好的，

Oh I realize, 哦，我知道，

I still love you more than ever, 我依然爱你比以往任何时候都多，

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Today I watch the sun set on the freeway, 今天，我观看日落在高速公路上，

strangled on the poison air, 勒死的毒空气，

But miles beyond, on the other end, 但是英里以外，在另一端，

I know, you'll always be waiting there, 我知道，你会永远等在那里，

Girl you treat me, 女孩，你如何对待我，

with your kindest hand, 你最善良的手，

and in my heart, in my mind, 在我的心脏，在我心里，

and I'm so glad 我很高兴

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
