Aretha Franklin — I Wish It Would Rain

[Verse 1] Sunshine, blue skies, please go away My man has found another and gone astray 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 [Chorus] Ooh yeah, yeah (Rain) I wish it would rain (Rain) Oh yes I do [Verse 2] Because so badly I, I want to go outside But I know deep in my heart, that I shouldn't to cry But I just got to cry, ooh yeah Because crying eases my pain To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain Just wish it would rain [Bridge] (Rain, rain) Uh-huh (Rain, rain) Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain (Rain, rain) Oh (Oh), so bad (Oh) So bad (Rain, thunder), thunder (Uh-huh) Uh-huh, (Uh-huh), Uh-huh (Uh) Uh, (Uh) Uh, (Uh) Uh, (Uh) Uh Well, ooh well, oh well, oh well [Verse 3] Day in day out my tear-stained face Stays pressed against the window pain My eyes search the skies desperately for rain Because raindrops will hide my teardrops No one will ever know that I'm crying, crying This hurt I feel inside, words could never explain Oh, I wish it would rain [Outro] (Rain) I wish it would rain (Rain, rain) You're walking all over, walking all over my heart, boy I wish it would 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 I just wonder why you wanna be so cold with me, ah baby Why you, why you, why you wanna be so hard with me? Ooh boy...
