It's gonna rain, ooh 
 It's got to rain 
 If she goes goodness knows, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 It's gonna rain 
    Look, I'm startin' to feel some bad vibrations 
 And it looks like a hopeless situation 
 She wants to come when I came in 
 And I know she's getting ready to leave me again   
 It's gonna rain, baby 
 It's gonna rain 
 I believe to my soul, Lord surely knows 
 It's gonna rain   
 I guess I bit off more than I could chew 
 And I've been in the dark, baby, too 
 Now she's getting ready to make a move 
 And I can feel a storm starting to brew   
 It's gonna rain, oh 
 Ooh, got to rain 
 I been struck by the lightning 
 And I feel the pain 
 Let me tell you about it   
 More than anything, no, I ever saw 
 More than the thunder of Arkansas 
 And if she leaves, I'm gonna start to bawl   
 The tears gonna fall like the water from afar   
 It's gonna rain, oh, baby 
 Got to rain 
 I believe to my soul, Lord surely knows 
 It's gonna rain   
 Stop it, baby 
 oh, stop it, baby 
 Stop, stop, stop the rain 
 Oh, stop it
