The Temptations — I Wish It Would Rain

[Verse 1] Sunshine, blue skies, 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 [Refrain] But I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] 'Cause so badly I wanna go outside (Such a lovely day) But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain, oh yeah People, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain [Refrain] I just 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) Ooh baby, let it rain (Let it rain) Oh yeah, let it rain [Verse 3] 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, crying, crying) Crying when I go outside To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain [Refrain] Oh I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain) Ooh baby, let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain) I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Rain, rain, rain, let it rain) Oh, let it rain (Doo doo doo doo) [Outro] Oh yeah, yeah, listen (Let it rain, let it rain) I'm a man and I got my pride (Rain, rain, rain, rain, let it rain) 'Til it rains I’m gonna stay inside (Doo doo doo doo) Let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)
