I remember when we met
Before I was invisible
I thought I'd play it hard to get
Pretend I'm unapproachable

But somebody else came along and
Took all the chances that I missed
Stuck on the sideline I keep thinking there she goes

Falling like rain
No I don't get to hold her tonight
Falling like rain
I was pushed to the back of the line

'Cause even though I need her love and crave her touch
I guess I wasn't fast enough
She's falling like rain, just not for me.. not for me, no, no

Why I took the longest road
I'll have to plead insanity
Its like my pride put on a show
And didn't sell a single seat

And while I was talking in riddles
Somebody else made perfect sense
Stuck on the outside I keep thinking 
There she goes

Falling like rain
No I don't get to hold her tonight
Falling like rain
I was pushed to the back of the line

Even though I need her love and crave her touch
I guess I wasn't fast enough
She's falling like rain, just not for me, just not for me

What do you do, what do you say,
When the best thing has passed you by?
Where do you go, how do you know,
If she'll come back another time?

She's falling like rain (falling like rain)
She's falling like rain (ohohohohoh)
She's falling like rain (falling like rain)
She's falling, she's falling, she's falling like

Rain...
No I don't get to hold her tonight (wont get to hold her)
Falling like rain (falling like rain)
I was pushed to the back of the line (pushed to the back of the line)

Even though I need her love and crave her touch
I guess I wasn't fast enough
She's falling like rain
Just not for me

She's falling like rain..
