Lyrics

Wednesday's Child

Scatterbrain

You've been crying in the rain

You've been drowning in your pain

Ain't gonna die

Do the right thing

Win or lose

Don't confuse

Wednesday's child

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paaa

Pa pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paaa

Walk on by me

Don't deny me

Anytime

Scatterbrain

(Scatterbrain)

You've been crying in the rain

(You've been crying in the rain)

You've been drowning in your pain

(You've been drowning in your pain)

Ain't gonna die

Do the right thing

Win or lose

Don't confuse

Wednesday's child

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paaa

Pa pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paaa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paaa

Pa pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paa

Pa-pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa-paaa

Scatterbrain

You've been crying in the rain

You've been drowning in your pain

Ain't gonna die
