I've been chasing rainbows all my life
Still haven't found that pot of gold
Send my prayers to heaven every night
Just close my eyes and let 'em go

Seems like everybody has got one up on me
Someone tell me what I'm 'sposed to do

Why does the sun always shine
On the other side, on the other side
Why does it always have to be
Always raining, always raining on me

Seems like I've been standing under the clouds
And its always been that way
Ain't no silver lining, to be found
Everywhere I look it's just another shade of grey
Oh, yes it is

And I don't know why and I don't know when
And I don't know where to begin

Why does the sun always shine
On the other side, on the other side
Why does it always have to be
Always raining, always raining on me

I know there's a rainbow hiding just beyond the clouds
So I'll keep on keepin' on, ain't gonna let it get me down
I won't let it get me down
Ooo-yeah-ee, yeaaaah

Why does the sun always shine
On the other side, on the other side
Why does it always have to be
Always raining, always raining on me

Always raining on me, always raining on me
Always raining on me, always raining on me

Yeah, it's always raining on me
