I’ll speak for myself, and say “Raindrops keep falling on my head”,
because I remember when it first came out in 1969, and I was just old enough at 7 to be hip to the hits on the top 40. It’s the second
song I commited all the lyrics to memory on. I still remember singing “raindrops” in second grade walking to school on a rainy day. How can you beat THOSE memories?
I remember, in the days in the late 60′s when people still gathered
around the piano, and sheet music was all over the top of it,
singing ALFIE along with the family.
I remember ALL the dionne warwick-sung ones when they first hit
on AM radio in the 60′s, except for “walk on by”.
I remember the kids liked the “what do you get when you fall in love” lyricss. That was what was so great about bacharach, his playful lyrics.
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That’s what you get for all your trouble.
I’ll never fall in love again.
I’ll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he’ll never phone you.
I’ll never fall in love again.
I’ll never fall in love again.

Don’t tell me what is all about,
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That’s what you get for your devotion.
I’ll never fall in love again.
I’ll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I’ll never fall in love again!
I’ll never fall in love again!
