Yellow Raincoat Lyrics
[Chorus]
Cause I’ll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it’s keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why
[Pre-Chorus]
When the wind blows and the sun goes away on the sinful, stormy day
It’s what it’s for yeah, it’s what it’s for yeah
And as it pours down, the water sprinkles off my chest jacket slow, yeah, jacket slow, yeah
Whenever do I ever, do I ever want this to faze me?
Whenever do I ever, do I want this thing to make me?
Cause the fame and the money and the girls drive you crazy
And all the he said, she said, I'm thinking maybe, just put on my
[Chorus]
Cause I’ll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it’s keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why
[Verse 1]
But, as I look around I see
Well nothing can never change me, yeah
Well all I gotta do is stay me
Let the rest do the work and I’ll show that I’ll be fine, be fine
Cause I’ll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it’s keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why
[Pre-Chorus]
When the wind blows and the sun goes away on the sinful, stormy day
It’s what it’s for yeah, it’s what it’s for yeah
And as it pours down, the water sprinkles off my chest jacket slow, yeah, jacket slow, yeah
Whenever do I ever, do I ever want this to faze me?
Whenever do I ever, do I want this thing to make me?
Cause the fame and the money and the girls drive you crazy
And all the he said, she said, I'm thinking maybe, just put on my
[Chorus]
Cause I’ll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it’s keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why
[Verse 1]
But, as I look around I see
Well nothing can never change me, yeah
Well all I gotta do is stay me
Let the rest do the work and I’ll show that I’ll be fine, be fine
[Pre-Chorus]
When the wind blows and the sun goes away on the sinful, stormy day
It’s what it’s for yeah, it’s what it’s for yeah
And as it pours down, the water sprinkles off my chest jacket slow, yeah, jacket slow, yeah
Whenever do I ever, do I ever want this to faze me?
Whenever do I ever, do I want this thing to make me?
