Stop

остаёшься
в
стороне,
That's
why
you
hear
me
say
Вот
почему
ты
слышишь
от
меня:
What's
the
matter
now?
В
чём
же
дело?
What's
the

now?
В
чём
же
дело?
Ain't

Have

дело,
That

же
дело?
What's
the
matter
now?
В
чём
же
дело?
What's
the
matter
now?
В
чём
же
дело?
You
never
give
me
lovin'
Ты
не
даёшь
мне
любви,
Like

Как

папочке.
Tell

you
really
think
Скажи

ты
действительно
думаешь,
I'm
made
o'
wood?
Что
я
сделана
из
дерева?
What's
the
matter
now?
В

же
дело?
Cruel
Daddy,
we
can't
get
along
somehow
Жестокий
папочка,
мы
никак
не
можем
поладить.
Mama
wants
some
honey
from
that
honeycomb
Мамочке
нужен
мёд
из
твоих
сот,
Tell
me,
what's
the
matter
now?
Скажи
мне,
в
чём
же
дело?
Daddy,
tell
me
what's
the
matter
now?
Папочка,
скажи
