The World Would Be Lost Without Raincoats Lyrics

I swear your hair is such a perfect mess and confess it's a guess but you're broken hearted more or less.
Here you are without a car walking through the rain waxing public (something) in vain.
You wain, you wain, you wain, you wain.
(guy)9 times out of 10.
(girl)You'll come running back again.
(guy)6 times out of 8.
(girl)You tell yourself it's not too late.
(guy)3 times out of 4.
(girl)Keeping your eye on that front door.
(guy)1 time out of 2...
(together)I loves you. OOOOOOO. And the rainbows stop. OOOOOOO. And the rainbows stop...
(guy)The world would be lost without raincoats.
There, there. Don't dispair. There is plenty of fish in the sea.
One for you and two for me.
Let's go inside we'll make some tea.
(guy)9 times out of 10.
(girl)You'll come running back again.
(guy)6 times out of 8.
(girl)You tell yourself it's not too late.
(guy)3 times out of 4.
(girl)Keeping your eye on that front door.
(guy)1 time out of 2...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i love this song so much i even emailed the band once here's the accurate lyrics (by jay):

I swear, your hair is such a perfect mess, And I confess, it's a guess, but you're broken hearted more or less.

Here you are without a car, walking through the rain... waxing poetic but all in vain, you wane you wane you wane.

9 times out of 10, he'll come running back again. 6 times out of 8, you tell yourself it's not too late. 3 times out of 4, keeping your eye on the front door. 1 time out of 2, I love you (he loves you).

Oooh, and the rain won't stop... the world would be lost without raincoats.

There, there. Don't despair, there's plenty of fish in the sea, one for you and two for me, let's go inside we'll make some tea.
