I Wish It Would Rain

[Verse 1]

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

My girl has found another and gone astray

With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom

So day after day I stay locked up in my room

I know to you, it might sound strange

[Refrain]

But I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]

It hurt so badly I wanna go outside (Such a lovely day)

But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry

But listen, I've got to cry 'cause crying eases the pain

People, this hurt I feel inside, words that can never explain

[Refrain]

I just wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain, let it rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Please let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain)

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

Oh let it rain

[Verse 3]

Day in day out my tear-stained face

Pressed against the windowpane

My eyes, they search the skies desperately for rain

'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops

And no one will ever know that I'm crying (Crying, crying, crying)

I'm crying when I go outside

To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain

[Refrain]

Oh I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Ooh baby, let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Rain, rain, rain, let it rain)

Oh, let it rain (Doo doo doo doo)

[Outro]

I'm a man and I got my pride (Rain, rain, rain, rain, let it rain)

'Til it rains I’m gonna stay inside (Doo doo doo doo)

Let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)

No, let it rain

Oh, let it rain

Let it rain

Oh, let it rain
