Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
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
But I wish it would rain
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

‘Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain’t supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry ‘cause crying eases the pain
Oh yeah, people, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain
I just wish it would rain
Oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain
Ooh baby, let it rain
Oh yeah, let it rain

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
‘Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know that I’m crying
Crying when I go outside
To the world outside, my tears I refuse to explain
Oh I wish it would rain
Ooh, let it rain, let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
Oh, let it rain

Oh yeah, yeah, listen
I’m a man and I got my pride
‘Til it rains I must be inside
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
