I Wish It Would Rain - Stereo Version
Aw
Oh, sunshine, blue sky, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
Oh, with her went my future, and 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
Ooh, wish it would rain
Ooh
'Cause so badly, so badly I wanna go outside
But everybody knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, true, I got to cry
'Cause cryin', cryin', cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside
Words could never explain
I wish it would rain
Ooh, come on, rain
Oh, oh, ooh, let it rain
Oh, baby, let it rain
Ooh, oh, nothin'
Oh, oh, ooh
Day in, day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm cryin', cryin', cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside, my tears
I refuse to explain
Just wish it would rain
Ooh, come on, rain
Oh, let it rain, babe
Oh, rain
Come on, rain
Oh, wish it would rain
I'm a man and I got my pride
'Til it rains, gonna stay inside
Oh, rain
Let it rain
Oh, rain
Oh, rain
Come on, come on
Oh, sunshine, blue sky, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
Oh, with her went my future, and 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
Ooh, wish it would rain
Ooh
'Cause so badly, so badly I wanna go outside
But everybody knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, true, I got to cry
'Cause cryin', cryin', cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside
Words could never explain
I wish it would rain
Ooh, come on, rain
Oh, oh, ooh, let it rain
Oh, baby, let it rain
Ooh, oh, nothin'
Oh, oh, ooh
Day in, day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm cryin', cryin', cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside, my tears
I refuse to explain
Just wish it would rain
Ooh, come on, rain
Oh, let it rain, babe
Oh, rain
Come on, rain
Oh, wish it would rain
I'm a man and I got my pride
'Til it rains, gonna stay inside
Oh, rain
Let it rain
Oh, rain
Oh, rain
Come on, come on
