I Wish It Would Rain

The Temptations

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

My girl has found another and gone away

With her with 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

I gotta cry 'cause cryin' is such a pain, oh yeah

People, this hurt I feel inside words can never explain

I just wish it would rain

(Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Rain, rain, rain

(Oh how I wish that it would rain)

(instrumental)

Day in, day out, my tear-stained face is 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 cryin', cryin' 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...
