Let me tell you a story
About a boy and a girl
It’s kinda short kinda boring
But the end is a whirl
Let me tell you a story
About a boy and a girl
It’s kinda short kinda boring
But the end is a whirl
They were just 16
When the people were mean
So they didn’t love themselves
And now they’re gone
Headstones on a lawn
[Verse 2]
When I was younger
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other
But always wished they were more
‘Cause they loved one another
But never discovered ‘cause they were too afraid
Of what they’d say
Moved to different states
[Chorus]
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It’s not the end of the story
[Verse 3]
Now it's on to the sequel
About me and my friend
Both our parents were evil
So we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved
We could both run away
And we’d have a better life
And I was right
I wonder if she’s alright
[Chorus]
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It’s not the end of the story, Ok
[Bridge]
And the movie’s always running in my head
All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
And I hope that they’ll all get their happy end
In the end
[Chorus]
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It’s not the end of the story
让我告诉你一个故事
关于一个男孩和一个女孩
它有点短有点无聊
但到底是一抡
他们只是16
当人被平均
因此，他们不爱自己
而现在他们走了
草坪上墓石
[诗歌2]
当我年轻时
我认识一个男孩和一个男孩
最好的朋友互相
但总是希望他们更
因为他们彼此相爱
但从来没有发现，因为他们太害怕
他们会说什么
移动到不同的状态
[合唱]
哦，恐怕这只是世界的方式工作
这一点都不好笑，这是不漂亮，这是不甜
哦，恐怕这只是世界的方式工作
但我认为，它可以为你和我的工作
等着瞧吧
这不是故事的结尾
[诗歌3]
现在是到了续集
关于我和我的朋友
无论我们的父母是恶
所以，我们都打了一个赌
如果我们的工作和我们得救
我们可以都跑掉
而我们就会有一个更好的生活
我是对的
我不知道她是正常的
[合唱]
哦，恐怕这只是世界的方式工作
这一点都不好笑，这是不漂亮，这是不甜
哦，恐怕这只是世界的方式工作
但我认为，它可以为你和我的工作
等着瞧吧
这不是故事的结尾，OK
[桥]
和电影总是在我的头脑里
所有的人，所有的恋人，我所有的朋友
我希望，他们都会得到他们的快乐的结局
到底
[合唱]
哦，恐怕这只是世界的方式工作
这一点都不好笑，这是不漂亮，这是不甜
哦，恐怕这只是世界的方式工作
但我认为，它可以为你和我的工作
等着瞧吧
这不是故事的结尾
