Sunshine, blue skies, please go away 
 My man has found another, and gone away 
 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 (oh how i wish that it would rain) 
 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah   
 Cause so badly 
 I wanna go outside (such a lovely day) 
 But i cant go no i can't let him see me cryin' 
 But listen, i got to cry, cuz crying, ooooooooh, 
 Is the pain, oh yeah   
 You know people, this hurt i feel inside, 
 Words, they, could never explain, 
 I wish it would rain (oh how i wish that it would rain) 
 Oh let it rain, rain, rain, rain (oh how i wish that it would rain) 
 Ooooooh baby   
 Let it rain (rain, rain) 
 Oh yeah, let it rain   
 Day in and day out, my tears stained face 
 Pressed against my window pane 
 My eye search the skies, well, desperately for rain 
 Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops and no one will ever know 
 That i'm crying (crying) crying (crying) 
 When i go outside   
 To the world outside my tears i refuse to explain, 
 I just wish it would rain (oh how i wish that it would rain) 
 Rain, rain, rain (oh how i wish that it would rain) 
 Ooooh baby   
 Let it rain 
 I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes 
 Yeah, you know i'm a man, i ain't got no pride, 
 Til it rains, i'm gonna stay inside, 
 Let it rain, let it rain 
 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... 
 Oh how i wish that it would rain.
