"I Wish It Would Rain" lyrics

"I Wish It Would Rain"
(originally by Marvin Gaye)

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and she's gone away
And with her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I just stay locked up in my room

And I know to you, it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain, oh, yeah

You don't know how badly I wanna go outside
(Everybody knows) but everybody knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying, oh, eases the pain, oh, girl
All this hurt I feel inside, words can't explain
I just wish it would rain
(I wish it would rain)
Whoa, let it rain
(I wish it would rain)
Whoa, let it rain

Day in, day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (crying)
'Cause I loved her so
And to the world outside, my tears, I refuse to explain
I just wish it would rain
(I wish it would rain)

(I wish it would rain)
How I wish it would rain (rain, rain, rain)
(I wish it would rain)
Why won't it rain? Rain
(I wish it would rain)

Just a little bit of rain
(I wish it would rain)
Washing my blues away
