Showboat Lyrics

Every time it rains, it pours,
I pray it'll rain a little more. I'm leaving.
'Cause I'm the guy who never cries,
And I gotta' keep my reputation clean.
And here's a helpful tip to rain and mist,
And raindrops may help to hide the tears a little more.
But I'm the guy who never cries
Looks up at the sky with hopeful eyes
Hoping when it finally rains it pours.
horus
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.
And every time the sun goes down
I pray the sunlight takes the sound as well.
And into new arms I lie
And I can keep the pain all to myself.
No light to see me shake and,
No sound to hear how I may break and,
No sounding of the teardrops hit the floor
Which is why a guy who never cries
Stays up all night with tired eyes
Hoping when it finally rains, it pours.
horus
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.

Look at that showboat.
Old king thunderbolt.
Mister
Only dog in every fight
The only guy who'd dynamite
The only guy who never cries
It's never lonely all the time
See him dancing up on tables
Shaunas, Lisas, Ethels, Mabels
Waiting for a drop of rain
Fall in linen, hide the pain
Fall and keep his boat afloat
Pretend that he's not sinking, no
Pretend that he ain't sinking over her.
Pretend that he ain't sinking over her.
