	Story Behind the Song Past experiences. Men suck! The song was written by Teresa in about a half hour while lying on her bed and then moved over to the keyboard to finish. The song was recorded in about two hours, although the ending solo needed several takes to complete. Lyrics Winter had ended, spring was here And life seemed full of hope My thoughts were clear And then the doorbell rang Now you are here You thought I'd still be crying Turn around and walk away While I was good to you You went astray And now I'm in no mood to hear your beg-ging Your pleading and your lying Don't you rain on my parade My memory will fade I'm done with your charade And I'm done with you Sure, the old me would succumb But now I'm not that dumb I guess I learned a very painful lesson Now as I stand here, it starts to rain The water looks like tears As you rack your brain to try to spin a web With your words again But, there's no use in trying That was then and this is now Your sales technique has failed So take a bow I've gotten over you Don't ask me how And this time I'm not buying Don't you rain on my parade My memory will fade I'm done with your charade And I'm done with you Sure, the old me would succumb But now I'm not that dumb I guess I learned a very painful lesson Our love is through, you can't deny it Learn to face the world alone And leave me with my dignity Don't you rain on my parade My memory will fade I'm done with your charade And I'm done with you Sure, the old me would succumb But now I'm not that dumb I guess I learned a very painful lesson
