[Chorus: Mary J. Blige & Ja Rule]
It's just those rainy days
Spend a lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun comes out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me
On all those rainy days
Spend ya lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige]
We’re always livin' so crazy and sexy and cool
And we begin to love it
Watchin' all of the heartache and pain of the world
And thinkin' nothin of it
And baby I got love for you
And I know that you got me, baby
But every time the sun shines bright
It gets so cloudy, yeah

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige & Ja Rule]
It's just those rainy days
Spеnd a lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun comеs out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me
On all those rainy days
Spend ya lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me
[Refrain: Mary J. Blige & Ja Rule]
Nobody loves the rain
Can't stand it
It always seems to fall
Baby, handle it
Baby, didn't we tell ya before
About chasin' those waterfalls?
(Chasin' waterfalls, yeah)
Nobody loves the rain
Can't stand it
It always seems to fall
Baby, handle it
Baby, didn't we tell ya before
About chasin' those waterfalls? Yeah

[Verse 2: Ja Rule]
Mary, baby
Sometimes the Rule don't mind the rain
It kinda feels like I'm drownin' in the Lord's pain
Until the sun comes out and shines again
Smile, give me reason to keep believin'
That everything ain't misleadin'
And I, kiss them clouds on them rainy days
And, smile for you when ya skies are gray
Babe, 'cause I'm a tear drop away from cryin'
And a few shots away from dyin'
Dear Lord, would you shower my pain
Let it rain, let it rain on me?
While I cherish the air I breathe
I'm an angel, that can't soar, can't fly
And I imagine the Lord knows why
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige & Ja Rule]
It's just those rainy days
Spend a lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun comes out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me
On all those rainy days
Spend your lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige]
I feel like an angel
With my broken wings
So I can soar again
Lord, let me in
Baby, through all the passion the pain and the hurt
I feel like I'm fallin', yeah
Makin' clothes and all for those that
Spread love
And for those who can't take it
Stand up
Baby, we gonna make it
In the words of Marvin Gaye
War is not the answer
Oh, it's just those rainy days
Smile for me, smile for me
[Chorus: Ja Rule]
On all those rainy days
Spend your lifetime tryin' to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me

[Outro: Mary J. Blige]
Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
'Til the sun shines
Just smile for me
Just smile for me, just smile at me
Know in your heart, that we are free
(Smile for me, smile for me)
Free to believe, whatever we feel
So feel somethin' real, baby
(Smile for me, smile for me)
Hey hey
(Smile for me, smile for me)
So feel somethin' real, baby
(Smile for me, smile for me)
Hey hey
Hey hey
