Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
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 turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' 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 turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
"Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is a popular song performed by Engelbert Humperdinck. The lyrics speak to the experience of the singer who finds themselves being constantly bothered by raindrops falling on their head. The first verse introduces the analogy of the raindrops to the singer's life, comparing their situation to a guy with feet too big for his bed, implying a sense of discomfort and inconvenience. The raindrops symbolize the problems and challenges that keep coming their way, making it difficult for them to find contentment.
In the next verse, the singer expresses their frustration with the sun, which represents the source of these challenges. They feel that the sun is not effectively doing its job and is essentially "sleeping on the job." This highlights their discontentment with the way things are in their life and their desire for things to change.
However, the singer remains optimistic and resilient. They believe that the blues that life throws at them will not defeat them. They are confident that happiness will eventually come their way, and they eagerly anticipate its arrival.
The chorus reinforces the notion that raindrops falling on their head does not necessarily mean that they will be brought to tears or distress. The singer refuses to complain about the rain because they understand that crying and complaining will not stop it. They embrace their freedom and choose not to worry or let the rain affect them negatively. They find solace in the fact that nothing is worrying them and that happiness will soon greet them.
Overall, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is a song about the singer's resilience in the face of life's challenges. They acknowledge the difficulties they encounter but refuse to let them define their mood or outlook. Instead, they choose to remain optimistic and free from worry.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
I am experiencing constant challenges and setbacks in my life
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
I feel like an outsider who doesn't quite fit in
Nothin' seems to fit
Everything feels out of place and uncomfortable
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
The difficulties and obstacles continue to persist
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
I tried to find solace and guidance by speaking to the sun symbolically
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
I expressed my dissatisfaction with how things are going in my life
Sleepin' on the job
The sun's lack of action or intervention in my situation
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
The challenges persist despite my attempts to find resolution
But there's one thing I know
I have a firm belief in one thing
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
The sadness and hardships I face will not overpower me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
I believe that soon I will experience joy and contentment
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
However, I won't let these challenges make me cry or feel defeated
Cryin's not for me
I refuse to succumb to sadness and tears
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Complaining about the rain will not change the circumstances
Because I'm free
I am liberated and unburdened by these challenges
Nothin's worryin' me
I am not bothered or anxious about anything

Effortless voice! Nothing like a night of listening to Engelbert & Perry Como...Pure bliss!
@eva_loves_enge
@PRTrinilan: Engelbert is one of a kind. The best voice of the 20th century. He is incomparable and to mention Perry Como ( yawn) in the same breath should be a punishable offence
