Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Patty Ascher Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet
Are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep falling.
So I just did me some

Talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
He's sleeping on the job
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep fallin'
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 falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me cause,
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining,
Because I'm free
Nothings worrying me
It won't be long
Till happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me cause,
I'm never gonna stop the rain

By complaining,
Because I'm free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Patty Ascher's song "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" describe the feeling of helplessness that comes when things seem to be going out of control. The singer likens his situation to that of a man with feet too big for his bed, suggesting that he is uncomfortable and doesn't know what to do. The raindrops serve as a metaphor for the problems in his life - they keep falling and there's nothing he can do to stop them.

However, rather than dwelling on the negative, the singer decides to take action, in a comically absurd way, by talking to the sun and complaining about its job. He acknowledges that there's nothing he can do to stop the rain, but he refuses to let it get him down. Instead, he chooses to look forward to a better future, when happiness will step in to greet him. By the end of the song, he has embraced his freedom, and is no longer weighed down by his troubles.

Line by Line Meaning

Raindrops are falling on my head
Water drops from the sky are falling and landing on my head

And just like the guy whose feet
Similar to the man whose feet are too big for his bed

Are too big for his bed
His feet are larger than the space provided by his bed

Nothing seems to fit
Things do not fit as they should

Those raindrops
The same raindrops from the first line

Are falling on my head
The same raindrops that were mentioned earlier continue to fall on my head

They keep falling.
The raindrops have not yet stopped falling

So I just did me some
I recently engaged in a conversation with myself

Talking to the sun
I spoke to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way
I expressed my dissatisfaction with the way

He got things done
The sun performs tasks in an unsatisfactory manner

He's sleeping on the job
The sun is observed to be sleeping while on duty

Those raindrops
The same raindrops from before

Are falling on my head
The raindrops persist in their descent on my head

They keep fallin'
The raindrops remain in their downward trajectory

But there's one thing I know
Despite the situation, I am certain of one thing

The blues they send to meet me
The feeling of melancholy that greets me

Won't defeat me it won't be long
This feeling of melancholy will not conquer me and shall soon subside

Till happiness
Joyfulness

Steps up to greet me
Welcomes me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
The raindrops persist in landing on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes
This does not mean that tears

Will soon be turning red
Will shortly be shed

Crying's not for me cause,
I do not cry because

I'm never gonna stop the rain
It is unlikely that I will be able to cease the downpour

By complaining,
By voicing my grievances

Because I'm free
Due to my liberation from distress

Nothings worrying me
Nothing is causing me worry

It won't be long
Soon, shortly
