It Only Rains On Me

(album: Portrait - 1979)

I know all about black clouds,
There's one that follows me around
It may sound funny but somehow,
It only rains on me.

It follows me, most everywhere,
And it seems its hardly fair
People will stop and people stare,
But it only rains on me.

[Chorus:]
Broken dreams and drowned parades,
Lovers who just slip away
Guess I learn to live that way,
It only rains on me.

Seems to me there was a time,
It used to rain on friends of mine
Now I look around and find,
It only rains on me.

I'll bet this won't hurt you much,
You'll find someone soon enough
I'm the one that loses in love,
It only rains on me.

It's time we said goodbye and so,
I'll just take my cloud and go
Don't worry you'll forget I know,
It only rains on me.

[Chorus:]
Broken dreams and drowned parades,
Lovers who just slip away
Guess I learn to live that way,
It only rains on me.

Seems to me there was a time,
It used to rain on friends of mine
But now I look around and find,
It only rains on me...
