以下是Missy Elliot的《Work It》的中英文歌詞:
(Verse 1)
You think you got me where you want me
你以為你讓我陷入了你的圈套
But I ain't never been a quitter
但我從不是個會放棄的人
I'm a grind, grind, grind like a rock in a tire
我像輪胎中的岩石一樣磨礪自己
And I ain't even gonna pretend like I'm scared
我才不會假裝害怕
I'm a ride till my wheels fall off, fall off, fall off
我會堅持到底,直到我筋疲力盡
I'm a work it, work it, work it till I'm numb
我會努力工作,直到我麻木
(Chorus)
I'm a work it, work it like a stripper on the pole
我會努力工作,就像鋼管舞女郎一樣
Til my body's sore, I'm a work it, work it
直到我身體酸痛,我會繼續努力
Trying to please him is like trying to please a mofo
想取悅他就像要取悅一個魔鬼一樣難
But I ain't even gotta ask for no more favors
但我甚至不需要再請求任何幫助
(Verse 2)
I ain't no Hollywood sweetheart, I'm a hustle till I drop
我不是好萊塢的甜心,我會努力奮鬥直到我筋疲力盡
And I ain't even gonna pretend like I'm not up against the ropes
我才不會假裝自己沒有面臨困境
I'm a fight till my gloves are red, red, red
我會戰鬥到底,直到我的拳頭變得通紅
I'm a work it, work it, work it till I'm numb
我會努力工作,直到我麻木
(Chorus) x2
He might think he got the upper hand, oh no he don't
他可能覺得自己占盡了上風,但他並沒有
'Cause when it comes to playing hard to get, I'm the champ, champ, champ
因為談到難以得到的時候,我可是冠軍中的冠軍
And when it comes to showing off my body I got it good and tight, tight, tight
談到展現我的身體時,我已經將它保養得非常好,緊緻有型
Trying to please him is like trying to make my momma cook her recipes all night long (come on)
想取悅他就像要讓我媽媽整晚烹飪她的拿手菜一樣難
(Bridge)
He thinks he got game, oh he don't, oh he don't
他以為他很有魅力,但他並沒有
Trying to control me is like trying to control the ocean with a little rubber band (come on)
想要控制我想要像用橡皮筋控制海洋一樣難(加油)
So here's my mission statement: This is war not love affair (Come on)
所以這是我的宣言:這不是愛情,是一場戰爭
Let's get this party started (Work it) Let's get this party started (Work it)
讓我們開始這場派對吧,讓我們開始吧
