Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
CARRA RAFFAELLA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy who said is too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' 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

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying is not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worry in me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying is not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
