Gladys Knight & The Pips — I Wish It Would Rain

Ooh-ooh-ooh, hah Sunshine, blue skies Please go away My love 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 (How I wish that it would rain) Let it rain, rain, rain, rain So badly, so badly I want to go outside (Such a lovely day) But I can't stop these tears From fallin' from my eyes Listen, I gotta cry 'Cause cryin' eases the pain Oh, yes it does (Oh, yes it does) (Oh, yes it does) People, this hurt I feel inside Words could never explain I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain) Let it rain, rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain) Oh, let it rain, rain Let it do a little rain Oh, day in, day out My tear stained face Pressed against the window pane My eyes search the skies Desperately for rain 'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops And no one will ever know That I'm cryin', cryin', cryin' 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) Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain Ohh I'm a girl and I got my pride Till it rains, I'm gonna stay inside Let it rain, let it rain I wanna say it one more time I'm a girl and I got my pride 'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside Let it rain, let it rain I want to see it one more time Let it pour and I got the power To let it rain, not gonna stay inside Let it rain, let it rain Ohh-ohh-ohh, let it rain, let it rain
