Lyrics for I Wish It Would Rain

Sunshine, blue skies, please go 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 you ooh, it may sound strange, but I wish it would rain Ooh yeah, yeah (rain) I wish it would rain (rain) Oh yes, I do So badly I, I wanna go outside But I know deep in my heart, that I shouldn't cry (cry) But I just got to cry, ooh yeah Because crying eases my pain To the world outside, my tears, I refuse to explain I just wish it would rain (rain) (Rain) oh yeah (rain) Uh-huh (rain, rain) Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain (Rain, rain) Oh (oh), yeah so bad (oh) Yeah (so bad), so bad (rain), 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 (uh-huh) My eyes search the skies desperately for rain (uh-huh) 'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops And 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 (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
