Duffy - Rain On Your Parade Lyrics
Send this Ringtone to your CellI wish you well, I hope you survive
I hope you live, oh baby, so I can watch you cry
'Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I pity the fools who bathe in you
'Cause I know someday now they'll see your colors too
And if you see a smile besides my face, no, I'm doing good now
Since you've been erased
'Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
