點歌時間 : Meat Loaf Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
But that aint getting us nowhere
I’ve told you everything I possibly can
There’s nothing left inside of here
（寶貝，我們可以談上一整晚，但這一點用處也沒有。我已經盡我可能地說出一切，毫無私藏）
And maybe you can cry all night
But that’ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here
（也許你可以哭上一整晚，但那並不會改變我的想法。外頭的雪積得好深，我希望你不至於逼我離開這裡）
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I’m tired of words and i’m too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
I’m crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do
Is keep on telling you
（我不斷地奔走努力，我一直想讓你知道我有多在乎，我已經無話可說、聲嘶力竭，但你對我冷漠已久，
我再也哭不出淚水，只有冰柱奪眶而出。而我唯一能做的，就是不斷向你訴說）
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way I’m ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 aint bad
（我想要你，我需要你，但我絕不可能愛上你。別傷心，因為三個好處能取其二也不錯了。
別再傷心了，因為三個好處能取其二也算不錯了）
You’ll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You’ll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no Coup de ville hiding at the bottom of a CrackerJack box
（你不可能在沙灘上找到你要的黃金，你不可能在城市的街道上鑽出石油，
我知道你想要在岩石山脈裡尋找紅寶石，但零食包裝盒裡不可能藏著凱迪拉克跑車）
I cant lie
I cant tell you that i’m something i’m not
no matter how i try
I’ll never be able to give you something
something that i just havent got
（我無法說謊，我不能告訴你我是某種我並不屬於的東西，不論我如何努力。我永遠也無法給你，我也不曾擁有的東西）
Well theres only one girl that I will ever love
and that was so many years ago
And though I know i’ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh i know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
（啊只有一個女孩讓我曾經愛過，而那是好多年以前的事情，儘管我知道我永遠也無法將她驅逐出我心。
她永遠也不會用愛回報我，喔我知道的。我永遠也記得那是一個暴風雨的夜晚，她吻了我，然後離開我們的床鋪。
儘管不斷懇求與拜託，要她別走出那扇門，但她仍然打包好行李就走）
And she kept on telling me
she kept on telling me
she kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way i’m ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way i’m ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 aint bad
（而她不斷告訴我，她不斷告訴我，她不斷告訴我：
「我想要你，我需要你，但我絕不可能愛上你。
別傷心了，因為三個好處能取其二也算不錯了，別再傷心了，三個好處能取其二也算不錯了。」）
