Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catcha' player by the toe
If you want to let him go

Ladies don't worry 'cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so, we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so, we ain't running out
Oh it's raining men girl what you worry 'bout?

Who you think you getting with that high let me freak ya
You got me mistaken thinking you gon get it easy
First of all you need to know that I’m not the one
Think you getting something baby, you ain't getting none
All you need to know that I'm a two times five
Load it, cock it, aim it baby, boom bye bye
Set your standards lower boy you're aiming too high
Matter of fact your friend looks better so (Huh) good bye

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catcha' player by the toe
If you want to let him go

Ladies don’t worry cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Oh its raining men girl what you worry 'bout?

Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh

Ex ex excuse me but who are you, fixing to be
Let them muthafuckas know theres plenty fish in the sea
And he sweating me just 'cause I got the tightest hole
Bet I couldn’t find that thing with a microscope
Give me dom dom, dadadada, dom dom dom
I ain't tripping on your money, money, long, long, long
Want my own TV production company
So tell Harpo to hit me Celie
Anyway Ri-Ri what rhymes with your name freely?
Money got you vacationing in Chile
Don't you wanna sit on the back while I wheelie
Really really really
No for real, really?
Laid down on the beach they be feeding me my catfishes
'Cause it's raining men, fat bitches

Men be falling like the rain so, we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so, we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so, we ain't running out
Oh it's raining men girl, what you worry 'bout?

Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh
Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh
Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh
Oh yeah yeah yeah oh whoa whoa whoa

I said hey, outta my way, where my ladies
Riding big, living good, doing they things
Dancing, don't pay,
Player keep the money I can buy my own drink
Up in the club, see men coming by a dozen
So it don't mean nothing to me
And I ain't even worried bout you homie
'Cause there's plenty more fish in the sea, OK

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catcha' player by the toe
If you want to let him go

Ladies don’t worry cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Oh its raining men girl what you worry 'bout?

Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh
Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh
Oh yeah yeah, oh ooh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Raining Men" by Rihanna is an empowering anthem for women who want to have fun and don't need a man to make them happy. The opening lines of the song, "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a player by the toe, if you want to let him go," are a playful way of saying that women have plenty of options and can choose who they want to be with. The chorus, "Men be falling like the rain so we ain’t running out," reinforces the idea that there are plenty of men to choose from and there's no need to settle for someone who doesn't treat you right.


The second verse of the song addresses a man who thinks he can get with Rihanna easily. She sets him straight by letting him know that she's not that kind of girl and he's not going to get what he wants from her. She tells him to set his standards lower and find someone else. The lyrics are a reminder that women should never settle for less than they deserve.


The final verse of the song takes a dig at men who only want women for their appearance. Rihanna lets them know that she's not interested in their money or their attention. She also mentions that she wants to start her own TV production company and doesn't need a man to help her achieve her goals. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that women have plenty of options and don't need to worry about finding a man.

Choosing a partner is as easy as a child's game. You can leave or stay with the person however you wish.


Ladies don't worry 'cause they got plenty more Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out Falling like the rain so, we ain't running out Falling like the rain so, we ain't running out Oh it's raining men girl what you worry 'bout?
There's no need for women to be concerned about running out of men because they are falling from the sky like rain. The abundance of men in the world eliminates the worry of finding someone special.

Trying to impress me with your status and charm will not work. I am not the kind of girl who will fall for anyone. You need to lower your expectations because you're not getting anywhere with me. Your friend looks more attractive, so you should try your luck with them instead.

You are a nobody to me, and I want to let everyone know that there are plenty of choices available. Don't be obsessed with me just because of my body. You can't impress me with your wealth because I want to be successful in my own way. I'm inspired by movies and want to have my own production company someday. I'm asking Celie (character in movie The Color Purple) to help me achieve that. I'm just joking and trying to freestyle some lyrics. Money has taken me to many places, including Chile. Do you want to sit behind me while I ride a bike? I'm relaxing on the beach and enjoying my time with some food.

Excuse me, move aside, where are my girlfriends? We are living luxurious lives and pursuing our aspirations. We love to dance and have fun, and we can buy our own drinks. We see men surrounding us in the club, but it doesn't matter because we have plenty of options. I am not worried about you because there are plenty of other guys for me to choose from.
