Every Drop of Rain Lyrics
I was just a young girl
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her
I handled all the money
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she'd wake up screaming
So you children slept with me
[Chorus]
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you're poor, it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel
When it rained, we slept on boxes
There was water all around
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
No clothes, no bed, no jewelry
Sometimes I had no shoes
A typhoon came, the house collapsed
And the neighbors passed us food
[Chorus]
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel
Every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel
Every drop of rain
I handled all finances
I myself was never paid
My teachers paid a visit
I felt, felt so ashamed
But I had kept my dignity
Some things cannot be killed
I smiled and kept my head up
All the wild days I was still
[Chorus]
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel
Every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel
Every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop
Every little tiny drop
Every drop of rain
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she'd wake up screaming
So you children slept with me
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you're poor, it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel
There was water all around
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
Sometimes I had no shoes
A typhoon came, the house collapsed
And the neighbors passed us food
Every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel
Every drop of rain
I myself was never paid
My teachers paid a visit
I felt, felt so ashamed
Some things cannot be killed
I smiled and kept my head up
All the wild days I was still
Every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel
Every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop
Every drop of rain
