I Wish It Would Rain - The Temptations/Gladys Knight and The Pips/The Faces/Marvin Gaye

   
I Wish It Would Rain
Sunshine, blue sky, please go away,
My 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,
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)
Everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
But listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying, oh,
Is the pain, oh, yeah

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)
Oh, baby

Let it rain (rain, rain)
Oh, yeah, let it rain

Day in day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against my window pane
I 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 wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Rain, rain, rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, 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
