I Wish It Would Rain - Ike & Tina Turner, Tina Turner

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
