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...
