"raindrops keep falling on my head"---《虎豹小霸王》
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are
Too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' 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 fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Cause suddenly you find your

Suddenly you find yourself
In an empty room
With a suitcase on the floor

Who's watchin' over me
Must be a guardian angel
I just need time to breathe
And give my life
The best of me
