It Can't Rain Everyday
P.O.D. Lyrics

This little one tries as hard as she can
A young girl is doing everything she can to fit in and make friends.

Do anything just so she can fit in
The girl is willing to do whatever it takes to be accepted by her peers.

She wants a friend so bad, she'll do whatever they tell her
The girl is so desperate for friendship that she will follow the lead of her peers without question.

To make them smile she would misbehave
The girl engages in negative behavior in an attempt to make her peers like her.

But all the while they would laugh in her face
Despite her efforts, the girl's peers do not respect or value her.

She begins to cry because she thought that they liked her
The girl is devastated to learn that her peers do not care about her, despite her efforts to fit in.

A young woman has struggled to find her way in life.

But that's okay, now she's having a child
