[00:00.00] 作曲 : Stevie Wonder
[00:01.00] 作词 : Stevie Wonder
[00:10.79] A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
[00:15.79] Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
[00:20.75] His parents give him love and affection
[00:25.50] To keep him strong moving in the right direction
[00:29.34] Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
[00:39.67] His father works some days for fourteen hours
[00:44.91] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
[00:49.50] His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
[00:54.23] And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
[00:58.32] Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah
[01:25.08] His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
[01:30.84] Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
[01:35.38] To walk to school she's got to get up early
[01:40.67] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
[01:44.45] Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
[01:53.98] Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
[02:00.16] His patience's long but soon he won't have any
[02:05.07] To find a job is like a haystack needle
[02:09.92] Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
[02:13.50] Living just enough, just enough for the city...
[02:50.25] Living just enough...
[02:54.39] For the city...ooh,ooh
[02:56.64][repeat several times]
[05:14.86] His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
[05:21.49] He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
[05:31.29] He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
[05:34.99] Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah, yeah, yeah!
[05:44.20] I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
[05:50.65] And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
[05:54.70] This place is cruel no where could be much colder
[05:59.64] If we don't change the world will soon be over
[06:03.48] Living just enough, just enough for the city!!!!
[06:19.04] La, la, la, la, la, la,
[06:22.17] Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da
[06:26.65] Da Da Da Da Da Da
[06:30.33] Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
[06:35.72][Repeat to end]
