As we go down life’s lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand some one who understands
That when you feel you’ve lost your way
You’ve got some one there to say I’ll show you
“Say You, Say Me” is a song written and recorded by Lionel Richie for the film White Nights, starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines.[1] The single hit number 1 in the US[2] and on the R&B singles chart[3] in December 1985. It became Richie’s ninth number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[4] The track is not available on the soundtrack album to the film, because Motown did not want Richie’s first single since the Can’t Slow Down album to appear on another record label. It finally appeared on the Dancing on the Ceiling album released in 1986.
The track won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song as well.[1] A music video was also made for the song.
In 2008, the song was ranked at #74 of the top songs of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, commemorating the first 50 years of the chart.[5]

歌曲歌词
英文
Say you say me
Say it for always that’s the way it should be
Say you say me
Say it together naturally
I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out
Say you say me; say it for always
Thats the way it should be
Say you say me; say it together
Naturally
As we go down life’s lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand some one who understands
That when you feel you’ve lost your way
You’ve got some one there to say I’ll show you
Say you say me; say it for always
Thats the way it should be
Say you say me; say it together
Naturally
So you think you know the answers oh no
‘Cause the whole world has got you dancing
That’s right I’m telling you
It’s time to start believing oh yes
Believing who you are you are a shining star
Say you say me
Say it for always that’s the way it should be
Say you say me
Say it together naturally
Say it together naturally[6]

说出你自己，说出我自己
应该永远是这样
本来就该是这样
说出你自己，说出我自己
大家一起来自然地说出来
我做了一个梦，一个可怕的梦
人们在露天的公园里
却像是在黑暗中带着面具玩着游戏
他们玩得那个游戏就是假面舞会
但从猜疑的墙壁后面
一个声音在大喊
说出你自己，说出我自己
应该永远是这样
本来就该是这样
说出你自己，说出我自己
大家一起来自然地说出来
我们现在走在人生寂寞的公路上
似乎在这孤独的生命旅程中
最难的就是找到一两个知己
一两个理解你并向你伸出援助之手的知己
当你感到空虚和迷茫时
他们会在那里对你说
我给你指引
说出你自己，说出我自己
应该永远是这样
本来就该是这样
说出你自己，说出我自己
大家一起来自然地说出来
也许你认为你知道了答案
不，不
整个世界正在变得越来越疯狂
这正是我要告诉你的
现在是开始重新建立信任的时候
噢，是的
相信你自己
你自己就是一颗闪耀的星
说出你自己，说出我自己
应该永远是这样
本来就该是这样
说出你自己，说出我自己
大家一起来自然地说出来
大家一起来自然地说出来[7]
