Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
B. Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And just like the guy whose feet
Are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep falling
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 fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
'Til happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me 'cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long
'Til happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me 'cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
The lyrics of B. Thomas's song Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head refer to a person who is going through a tough time as the raindrops continue to fall on their head. They are struggling to find their place as things seem to not fit in their life, despite their efforts. However, they then have a conversation with the sun expressing their dissatisfaction with the way things are going as the sun seems to be sleeping on the job, allowing the rain to keep pouring. The lyrics go on to say that the person is aware that the blues that come with the hard times won’t stop them because they know that happiness is just around the corner.
In the end, they realize that rain is just a natural aspect of life, and instead of complaining or being upset, they choose to embrace their freedom and not let anything worry them. The lyrics are powerfully uplifting, inspiring listeners to face their problems head-on, knowing that brighter days are ahead.
