I Wish it would Rain

I Wish it would Rain - Temptations

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

But I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

'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 thins the pain

This hurt I feel inside, words could never explain

I just wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain, rain, rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain

Let it rain

Day in, day out, my tears stay phased, pressed against the window pane

I search the skies, desperately for rain

'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops

And no one will ever know

That I'm crying, crying, when I go outside

To the world outside, my tears

I refuse to explain

Oh, I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain

Let it rain

I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes. (Let it rain)

Let it rain

Let it rain

Listen, I'm a man and I've got my pride

'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
