Parade
Jacob Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it the way I move? Uh
That's why you think I'm bulletproof, uh
Or is it in my cool?
You think I'll put a spell on you
Boo
It won't rain on my parade
Oh, let it rain, woo
It won't rain on my parade
Take a mile in my shoes, oh
Bet you'll never shake the blues
Though it's heavy on my shoulder
Still you see me coming through, hey
Oh, let it rain, woo
It won't rain on my parade
Oh, let it rain, woo
It won't rain on my parade
Oh, let it rain
It won't rain on my parade
Oh, let it rain
It won't rain on my parade
