Lyrics Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye

I Wish It Would Rain

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

My girl has found another and gone away

With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom

So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room

I know to you it might sound strange

But I wish it would rain

(How I wish that it would rain)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Because so badly I want to go outside (Such a lovely day)

But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen

I got to cry because crying eases the pain, oh yeah

People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain

But I wish it would rain

(How I wish that it would rain)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

But I wish it would rain

(How I wish that it would rain)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

But I wish it would rain

(How I wish that it would rain)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Day in, day out, my tear stained face

Pressed against the window pane

My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain

Because raindrops will hide my teardrops

And no one will ever know

That I'm crying, crying when I go outside

To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain

But I wish it would rain

(How I wish that it would rain)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Let it rain, let it rain

I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes

Oh, let it rain

Oh, yeah, yeah listen

I'm a man and I got my pride

Give me rain or I'm going to stay inside

Let it rain

Let it rain

Let it rain

Let it rain

(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)
