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
