Save It for a Rainy Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pretty little hairdo
Don't do what it used to
Can't disguise the living
All the miles that you've been through
Looking like a train wreck
Wearing too much makeup
The burden that you carry
More than one soul could ever bear

[Chorus]
(So sad)
Don't look so sad, Marina
(There's another part)
There's another part to play
(So sad)
Don't look so sad, Marina
(Ooh)
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day

[Verse 2]
You never make your mind up
Like driving with your eyes shut
Rough around the edges
Won't someone come and take you home?
Waiting for a breakthrough
What will you set your mind to?
We stood outside the Chinese restaurant
In the rain
[Chorus]
(So sad)
Don't look so sad, Marina
(There's another part)
There's another part to play
(So sad)
Don't look so sad, Marina
(Ooh)
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day

[Harmonica Solo]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
(So sad)
Don't look so sad, Marina
(There's another part)
There's another part to play
(So sad)
Don't look so sad, Marina
(Ooh)
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
