Lyrics
Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy
Whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head
They keep fallin’So I just did me some talkin’ to the Sun
And I said I didn’t like the way
He got things done
Sleepin’ on the job
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head
They keep fallin’But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won’t defeat me
It won’t be long till happiness
Steps up to greet meRaindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes
Will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain
By complainin’Because I’m free
Nothing’s worryin’ me!It won’t be long till happiness
Steps up to greet meRaindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes
Will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain
By complainin’Because I’m free
Nothing’s worryin’ me!
