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
