lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m sorry… not really.
Been busy doing other things.
Been tied up with my life (now)
Just trying to make ends meet.
Been working smart all week
Now it’s time for me to play.
(That’s) why I step out… on the town.
And make it better every day.
[Chorus]
(So) please, please, please, please, please,
Please don’t bring me down.
(There’s no point in trying.)
(I said) please, I’m begging you please,
Don’t rain on my parade.
(I’m just trying to have a good time.)
[Verse 2]
Please pardon my absence
Won’t be a church today.
Been out all night jammin’ with the band
And my head’s a bit heavy.
Band made me move, I couldn’t leave the groove
Now I feel like my soul has been saved!
That’s why I step out on the town
And make it better every day.
[Chorus 2]
(So) please, please, please, please, please,
Please don’t bring me down now.
(No, please don’t judge me.)
I said please, I’m begging you please,
Don’t rain on my parade.
[Middle 8]
There’s a heartbeat in the city and it’s calling.
The heartbeat of the city has been calling me all week.
The mundane day-to-day’s been bringing me down.
(Bringing me down.)
I’ve got to stay away
(……………………………Got to stay away)
From doing the same old thing!
(……………………………………From doing the same old thing!)
So please, please, please, please, please,
Please! Don’t rain on my parade!
[Verse 3]
If you think that I’m like the masses
You’ve got another thing coming.
Don’t care for pro sports (no),
Can’t stand the pop radio waves.
Got a mind of my own, always in my own zone
Never doing the same old thing.
That’s why I step out on the town
And make it better every day.
[Chorus 3]
(So) please, please, please, please, please,
Please don’t bring me down now.
(There’s no point in trying.)
I said please, I’m begging you please,
Don’t rain on my parade.
(I’m just trying to have a good time.)
(I said) please, I’m begging you please,
No don’t bring me down.
(No please don’t judge me!)
I said, please, I’m down on my knees (lord no no).
[Outro]
Please don’t bring me down (no)
Please don’t bring me down
Please don’t rain on my parade.
Please don’t bring me down (no)
Please don’t bring me down
Please don’t rain on my parade.
(Everybody sing now!)
Please don’t rain on my parade (no)
Please don’t rain on my parade
Please don’t rain on my parade
(Just one more time now!)
Please don’t rain on my parade (no)
Please don’t rain on my parade
Please don’t rain on my parade
