Lyrics

Rain

[Intro]

I can't take this rain (Rain), no

When I'm bringin' you joy (Joy)

Won't you show me some love (Love)

Like you did before (Before)

[Verse 1]

I won't cry

I'm feelin' kinda tired

I can't keep givin' way

When you don't even try

Heavy...

I try to shed a little sunshine

But your clouds are still there

[Chorus]

Why you givin' me all this rain? (Rain)

And I'm bringin' you joy (Joy)

You should show me some love (Love)

Like you did before (Before)

[Verse 2]

It could be so simple babe

It's like you're pushin' me away

Addin' fuel to the fire

Never havin' anything good to say

There's gotta be a better way

To get back better days

There's a bridge in the middle

You need to meet me halfway

[Chorus]

Instead of playin' all these games (Games)

When I'm bringin' you joy (Joy)

Won't you show me some love (Love)

Like you did before (Before)

[Verse 3]

And I think I won't

I won't cry

I'm feelin' kinda tired

I can't keep givin' way

When you don't even try

Heavy...

I try to shed a little sunshine

But your clouds are still there

[Chorus]

Why you givin' me rain? (Rain)

When I keep bringin' you joy (Joy)

Won't you show me some love (Love)

Like you did before (Before)

[Outro]

I can't take this rain (Rain)

Please show me some love (Joy)

Oh, I can't take this rain

I need a, a little love

We used to be so good together, baby (Rain)

And I can't take the rain no more (Joy)

I need some joy (Love)

Talkin' 'bout joy and love, joy and love
