Make It Rain

The wealthy ones like you look down on the common folk like me Makin' bets to what degree of fool we are Through your rust-colored windows You see yourself above us Standin' in the mud and gazin' at the stars But the rich and poor have in common The common cold, the heartburn and the heartache Put our pants on just the same Your worth don't make you better, babe 'Cause I can tread water, babe As long as you think you make it rain While you got your raisin', girl And your diamond-studded world I got pulled up on the hungry side o' town I cut my teeth on bacon rind There ain't no hide as tough as mine But it might be fun awhile to be your clown So, get your whip and do your thing And I'll run around the ring Ride my white horse, wear my armor too Aah, but I don't easy blister, babe I'll be your Court Jester, babe Don't think you won't pay the fiddler, too I put your hand in mine It was a shockin' time to find The water hot, the current strong, and deep and wet You had me strugglin' for a time A-draggin' on your line But never fear, this fish will never swim While you're playin' with my mind I'll be payin' with your money, honey As long as your account can stand the drain I'll fan the flame and make it hotter 'Cause I think I can walk on water As long as you can make it rain Aww, I'll hang around awhile Study your style Come out a whole lot wiser man indeed 'Cause the last time anyone as grand As you appeared and looked around Found the grandest star up in the East Hey, but I don't see no halo Just a little girl with a lot of gold Wantin' one more trinket for her golden scene Aah, but you got a hot one hangin', kid Don't let him say you never did your best Be my guest, make it rain Aah, make it rain Babe, make it rain Make it rain Oh, make it rain
