RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD
Burt Bacharach & Friends Lyrics

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
The singer is being constantly bothered by the rain.

An' just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed,
The singer feels uncomfortable and out of place, similar to a person who doesn't fit in his bed.

Nothin' seems to fit,
The singer feels that nothing is going right and everything feels out of place.

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head,
The artist reiterates that the raindrops are continually falling on his head.

They keep fallin'...
The artist laments that the rain keeps falling, without any sign of stopping.

So i just did me some talkin' to the sun,
The singer tries to communicate with the sun, as if it's a person, to express his displeasure.

And i said i didn't like the way he got things done,
The singer complains to the sun that he doesn't like how it's controlling the weather.

Sleepin' on the job,
The artist suggests that the sun isn't doing its job properly, hence why it's still raining.

But there's one thing, i know,
Despite his complaints, the artist feels confident about one thing.

The blues they send to meet me,
The artist acknowledges that he's feeling down and depressed, and the rain isn't helping.

Won't defeat me,
Despite feeling down, the singer is confident he won't be defeated by his negative emotions.

It won't be long 'till happiness Steps up to greet me...
The artist believes that his negativity won't last forever, and he'll soon be happy again.

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
The singer implies that he won't cry, even though he's feeling miserable.

Cryin's not for me,
The singer reaffirms that he won't cry, even though he's feeling miserable.

'cause, i'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin',
The singer believes that complaining won't stop the rain, so he'll try to accept it instead.

Because i'm free
The artist feels free to live his life how he wants, without being controlled by anyone or anything.

Nothin's worryin' me
The artist is carefree and not worried about anything.

... One two three four Five six seven eight...
This line is nonsensical and simply serves as a transition between the previous and next stanzas.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
The rain is still falling on the singer's head.

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
The artist won't cry, even though he's feeling miserable.

Cryin's not for me,
The artist repeats that he won't cry, no matter how bad he feels.

'cause, i'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin',
The artist reiterates that he won't complain about the rain, as it won't change anything.

Because i'm free
The singer feels liberated and free to live his life how he wants.

Nothin's worryin' me
The artist is carefree and not worried about anything.
