Lyrics
All I hear is raindrops
All I hear is the sound of raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Fall on the roof
Oh baby tell me why'd you have to go
Oh baby tell me why you had to go
Cause this pain I feel
Because of this pain I feel
It won't go away
It won't go away
And today
And today
I'm officially missing you
I officially miss you
I thought that from this heartache
I think it's from this heartache
I could escape
I can escape
But I fronted long enough to know
But I was ahead long enough to know
There ain't no way
Impossible
And today
And today
I'm officially missing you
I officially miss you
Oh can't nobody do it like you
Oh, no one can do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Saying every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially
And I, I officially
All I do is lay around
All I do is lie down
Two years full of tears
Two years full of tears
From looking at your face on the wall
From seeing your face on the wall
Just a week ago you were my baby
Just a week ago you were my girlfriend
Now I don't even know you at all
Now I don't even know you at all
I don't know you at all
I have no idea at all
Well, I wish that you would call me right now
Well, I was hoping you would call me now.
So that I could get through to you somehow
So I can contact you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say baby safe to say
But I think it's safe to say it's safe to say
That I'm officially missing you
That I officially miss you
Oh can't nobody do it like you
Oh, no one can do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Saying every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially
And I, I officially
Well, I thought I could just get over you baby
Well, I think I can forget you honey
But I see that's something I just can't do
But I see that it is something I cannot do.
From the way you would hold me
From the way you hug me
To the sweet things you told me
For the sweet things you said to me
I just can't find a way
I can't find the way
To let go of you
To let you go
Oh can't nobody do it like you
Oh, no one can do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Saying every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially
And I, I officially
It's official
It's official
You know that I'm missing you
You know that I miss you
Yeah yeah
yes
All I hear is raindrops
All I hear is the sound of raindrops
And I'm officially missing you
And I officially miss you
