Showboat |
Every time it rains, it pours |
I pray it rains just a little more on me |
Cause I’m the guy who never cries |
And I gotta keep my reputation clean |
And here’s a helpful tip the rain |
Administered in raindrops may |
Help to hide the tears a little more |
Which is why a guy who never cries |
Looks up at the sky with hopeful eyes |
Hoping when it finally rains it pours |
I’m just a showboat |
Won’t catch me crying, no |
Won’t catch me showing any hurt |
I’m just a showboat |
Pretending I can stay afloat |
Pretending I’m not sinking over her |
Every time the sun goes down |
I pray the sunlight takes the sound as well |
Cause I’m the guy who never cries |
And I gotta keep the pain all to myself |
No light to see me shaking |
No sound to hear me breaking |
No sound to hear the teardrops hit the floor |
Which is why a guy who never cries |
Stays up all night with hopeful eyes |
Hoping when it finally rains it pours |
I’m just a showboat |
Won’t catch me crying, no |
Won’t catch me showing any hurt |
I’m just a showboat |
Pretending I can stay afloat |
Pretending I’m not sinking over her |
Every time I think of her |
I wonder if she ever thinks of me |
Out all night and running wild |
The latest styles, the greatest company |
With laughter, lights and drinking |
Trying hard to keep from thinking |
And seeking for what he is searching for |
Which is why a guy who never cries |
Looks up at the sky with desperate eyes |
Hoping when it finally rains it pours |
I’m just a showboat |
Old king thunderbolt |
Mister le bon temps rouler |
The only dog in every fight |
The only guy who Dyna might |
The only guy who never cries |
He’s never lonesome all the time |
See him dancing up on tables |
Shawnas, Lisas, Ethels, Mabels |
Though he looks a little tired |
One eye always pointed skyward |
Waiting for a drop of rain |
To fall and help to hide the pain |
To fall and help to lift the boat |
So he can think he’s still afloat |
Pretending he ain’t sinking, no |
Pretending he ain’t sinking over her |
Pretending he ain’t sinking over her |
