Aretha Franklin - I Wish It Would Rain Lyrics

Sunshine, blue skies please go away
My man has found another and gonna stay
With him 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

I wish it would rain, oh yes I do

So badly I wanna go outside
But I know deep in my heart that I shouldn't cry
Oh, I just got to cry because crying eases my pain
To the world outside I'm a tease, I refuse to explain

I guess we should let it rain, rain, rain, rain, rain

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

Oh, so bad
So bad

Well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Face pressed against the window pain
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
Because rain-drops will hide my tear drops
No one will ever know that I'm crying
Crying
This hurt, and feeling sad
Why I could never explain

Oh, let it rain this evening
Let it rain, yeah
Let it rain

You walk all over
Walking all over my heart, boy

Oh, won't you let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

All over the world, baby

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

All over the world

Why you wanna, why you wanna
Be so cold with me
I'll be back
Why, why, why, why you wanna, why you wanna
Be so cold with me

I got it in the plain
And you got it in your hand, and I want it
