Oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
Even this hurt I feel inside
My girl has found another, and gone away
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain
When I go outside
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
But I wish it would rain
(Crying)
Songwriters: Roger Penzabene, Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
I know to you it might sound strange
Oh, I wish it would rain
Ooh baby, let it rain, let it rain

Eases the pain, oh yeah
Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying, ooh
(Such a lovely day)
Oh, let it rain
'Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops and no one will ever know
'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain
Oh yeah, let it rain
(Rain, rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Crying
Day in day out, my tear stained face
Ooh baby, let it rain
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
(Crying, crying)
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Pressed against the window pane
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
That I'm crying
Oh yeah, yeah, listen I'm a man, I ain't got no pride
