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 how I wish that it would rain)
'Cause so badly, I wanna go outside (Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry, 'cause crying thins the pain
This hurt I feel inside, words could never explain
I just wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, rain, rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain
Let it rain
Day in, day out, my tears stay phased, pressed against the window pane
I 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 (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain
Let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Let it rain)
Let it rain
Let it rain
Listen, I'm a man and I've got my pride
'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
