If anyone asks you how I am
Just say I’m doing fine
If you will do that for me
I’ll do the same for you sometime

And if anyone asks you where I’ve gone
Just say I’m down the line
I don’t want my friends to see me like this
Maybe some other time

Too much rain fallin’
Too much rain fallin’
There’s just been too much rain fallin’ down on me

One day I’m gonna understand
The way that my heart works
And then I’m gonna work it out
So that I won’t get hurt

But if anyone asks you where I’ve gone
Oh, don’t say where I am
Just say you saw me and I’m doin’ fine
‘Cause I’m doin’ the best I can

Too much rain fallin’
Too much rain fallin’
There’s just been too much rain fallin’ down on me
