Tears Falling Down On Me Lyrics - Carole King

Vera comes home on Sunday morning after hanging with the boys all night 

Laughing and drinking with them, thinking she's one of them 

And that makes everything allright 

She vaguely remembers going out in the parking lot 

With the stone mason's son 

Who had his way with her, then walked away when he was done 

Sometimes she thinks about leaving--she tells herself, someday 

You know, her daddy said she'd never amount to much 

Of anything anyway 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

No, that ain't the way it's supposed to be 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, tears falling down on me

I've cried so many tears over man's unkindness to man 

People say that's the way it is, but we gotta do what we can 

Why does it have to be that way, I just don't understand 

Rain falling from my eyes, rain falling from the sky 

And I don't know why 

A pack of jokers get their jollies beating up on a black king 

There's outrage in the city for a while 

But do you think it'll really change anything 

Get rid of the gates, free the people 

And let the games commence 

We gotta take our power back 

And use it in ways that make sense 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

If I could, I would change the course of history 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, tears falling down on me

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, rain washing over me 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, pain washing over me 

Rain, wash it away, rain, wash it away 

Wash the pain away, rain, wash it away 

Oh, tears falling down on me 

Oh, tears falling down on me
