RAINBOW
Charlie Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I thought the sky above
Was permanently grey
Every street I walk down
Was always in the rain

Then I turned a corner
And saw you standing there
Suddenly the sunlight
Was streaming everywhere

Now that we're together
All the world is new
Got to put my sunshades on
When I look at you

You're my
You're my
You're my

Rainbow, Rainbow
You colour up my life
Rainbow, Rainbow baby
You make me feel so right
Rainbow, Rainbow
Beautiful to see
Rainbow, Rainbow baby
You belong to me
Oooooohh...
You belong to me

I don't need a friendly nudge
To make me realize
You can make a man of me
With one flick of your eyes

Got these Crazy Feelings
Out of my control
You've got all
A boy could want
I've found my pot of gold

I'll do anything for you
Go to Extramile
Just so I can be there
To diving to your smile

You're my...
You're my...
You're my...

Rainbow, Rainbow
You colour up my life
Rainbow, Rainbow baby
You make me feel so right
Rainbow, Rainbow
Beautiful to see
Rainbow, Rainbow baby
Cause you belong to me
Oooooohh...
You belong to me

I've got a lot to learn
I know it's true
But I'm raring to go
Be taught by you

I want to be the one
You talk about with friends
Hey girl (Hey girl)
I'm gonna say it once again

Rainbow, Rainbow
You colour up my life
Rainbow, Rainbow baby
You make me feel so right
Rainbow, Rainbow
So beautiful to see
Rainbow, Rainbow baby
Cause you belong to me
Oooooohh...
You belong to me
Oooooohh...
You belong to me





Rainbow, Rainbow baby
You belong to me...
