Aretha Franklin - I Wish It Would Rain lyrics

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

Ooh yeah, yeah (Rain)
I wish it would rain (Rain) oh yes I do
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

(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

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

(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
