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 |
