[Verse 1]
Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

[Chorus]
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining (Thunder only happens when it's raining)
Players only love you when they're playing (Only love you)
Say, women, they will come and they will go (They will come, they will go)
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know (You will know)
You will know

[Verse 2]
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

[Chorus]
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining (Thunder only happens when it's raining)
Players only love you when they're playing (Players only love you)
Say, women, they will come and they will go (They will come, they will go)
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining (Thunder only happens when it's raining)
Players only love you when they're playing (Players only love you)
Say, women, they will come and they will go (They will come, they will go)
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

[Outro]
You will know, oh-oh-oh
You will know (You will know)
You will know
