I Wish It Would Rain - Live At The Copa/1968 - The Temptations

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

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside

(Such a lovely day)

Everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry

Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying

Eases the pain, oh yeah

People, this hurt I feel inside

Words, they, could never explain

I 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 my 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)

When I go outside

To the world outside

My tears I refuse to explain

Ooh, I wish it would rain

(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 and I've got my pride

'Til it rains I'm gonna stay inside

Let it rain
