Sunshine blue skies please go away

The 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,

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside

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

Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,

Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.

Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.

Day in day out my tear-stained face

Pressed against the window pain,

My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,

Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops

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, oh I wish it would rain,

Let it rain, let it rain.

I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.

Oh, let it rain.

I'm a man and I got my pride

Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.
