Lyrics The Temptations

The Temptations

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 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)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside

(Such a lovely day)

But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry

Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying, ooh

Eases the pain, oh yeah

Even this hurt I feel inside

Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain

(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain

(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Ooh baby, let it rain

(Rain, rain)

Oh yeah, let it rain

Day in day out, my tear stained face

Pressed against the window pane

My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain

'Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops and no one will ever know

That I'm crying

(Crying)

Crying

(Crying, crying)

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)

Ooh baby, 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, I ain't got no pride

'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
