Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
Anthony Warlow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raindrops are falling on my head
I'm just like a guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

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 me

'Cause raindrops keep falling on my head
Haha, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cryin's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothings worrying me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
Ha, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cryin's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining




Because I'm free
Nothin's worrying me

Raindrops are falling on my head
Water droplets are descending on my skull

Neglecting duties while being employed
