I Wish It Would Rain

The Temptations

Lyrics

Hmm hmm

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

A 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 (such a lovely day)

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, ooo baby

Let it rain, oh yeah, let it rain

Day in day out my tear-stained face

Pressed against the window pane

My eyes search the skies desperately for rain

'Cause rain drops will hide my tear drops

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, ooo I wish it would rain, ooh, baby

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'm gonna stay inside, let it rain
