Standing In The Rain
Mark Ronson Dan Auerbach Action Bronson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you standing in the rain
You were holding his hand and I'll never be the same

You can see me on the riviera dressed like a Playboy
Or you can catch me up in Rivieras Tuesday night
Pillow fights with Dominican mothers
That's what happens when it's suede on the roof
Swervin' lane to lane in a coupe
Shit, if I crash it, I'll probably just leave it as a token
That your boy coulda died right there, no jokin'
Uh, eating well so my foot's swollen
Fuck it man I'm rollin', you rollin' or not?
The boat plane's waiting at the dock
I wonder if he let me fly it, but it's a long shot
The money eases everybody's mind
Put kids through school, new tittiess on wives
New tits for the mistress
Fuck it, new titties for everybody, it's Christmas, yeah

I saw you standing in the rain
You were holding his hand and I'll never be the same, no

I use milfhunter.com to ease the pain
It was ninety-two degrees with rain
Right before the seasons changed
On trees just a little bit of leaves remain
My heart broke when his cock was in your throat
But fuck that laid top out on the boat
Heard you fucked around at Philippine and 1 OAK
My man seen you both at the Sunoco
Kissing and touching, lied and said that this was your cousin
Shit, I should have known when you stole money
Bitch called the cops and rolled on me
So good, I got old money
To lay on any motherfucking beach on the planet
With equestrian colored salmon
We examine my life and make sure I'm never dumb again
But first, slide your panties to the side girl, I'm comin' in

I saw you standing in the rain
You were holding his hand and I'll never be the same, no




I saw you standing in the rain
You were holding his hand and I'll never be the same, no

Overall Meaning

The song "Standing in the Rain" by Mark Ronson, Dan Auerbach, and Action Bronson is a complex narrative with multiple layers of interpretation. At the surface level, it appears to be a break-up song, with the singer describing his heartbreak at seeing his former lover holding hands with another man in the rain. However, as the lyrics progress, the song becomes more complicated, with the singer delving into his own extravagant lifestyle, including trips to exotic locations, pillow fights with "Dominican mothers," and even his own infidelity with multiple women.


The song can be read as a commentary on the difficulties of maintaining a monogamous relationship in the face of fame and fortune. The singer is torn between his love for his former partner and the desires of his own glamorous lifestyle. The lyrics are riddled with contradictions, with the singer simultaneously yearning for his lost love and celebrating his own decadent lifestyle. At the end of the song, he reasserts his own power, urging his former partner to "slide your panties to the side, girl" and promising to never be "dumb again."


Overall, "Standing in the Rain" is a complex exploration of love, loss, and the pitfalls of fame and fortune.

A lot of people can dislike this film. But you have to admit that the soundtrack is awesome.

@peyotrip

first half of the movie was epic

@plum7348

I just found out that this was Action Bronson. I thought this was Ghostface the whole time. SMH!!!

@lakshayshokeen556

This is dope yo

@prabha112

WB screwed it

@screwyyourlouie6061

The movie was horrible, it was too rushed and there was no characters to like because they were all garbage. (Honestly Will Smith was the only good thing about the movie but even he didn’t fit in) But I’ll agree with you the soundtrack is the only good thing that came from this pile of shit of a movie. I thought the soundtrack was great honestly but then again Black Panther’s soundtrack is better due to Kendrick Lamar and other great rappers.
