CHORUS:
I can't let the rain bring me down, no, I don't think so (coming down,
Coming down, coming down, down)
I can't let the rain bring me down, no, I don't think so (coming down,
Coming down, coming down, down...)
I'm all alone in my house, my wife and baby just moved out (no! )
Bills have not been paid
Mortgage is due and I have a job to take
Somebody called and want to take her car
Can't find refuge in a neighborhood bar, no (no! )
Supposedly I'm in arrears
Rain is coming down I have to hide a tear
CHORUS
I've been thought never to question why
Keep the faith and you shall arise (no! )
Nothing is going my way
Will I ever live to see a better day
When this world frown turns upside down
It's hard to keep with no one else around (no! )
I'm so confused, can't tell wrong from right
Toss and turn, can't survive the night
I can't worry and I can't complain
I'm not the only one who can feel the pain (no! )
Can't break down, gotta weather the storm (I don't think so)
It's only gonna rain for a little while
CHORUS
All these things going through my head
If I only knew what lied ahead
I might be down but I'm not out
(The rain will fall, the will fall, - repeat)
Gotta stand my ground gotta work it out
Gotta wear a smile on the outside
To cover up the pain on the inside
(The rain will fall – (repeat))
Seem like my life has gone astray
Will this rain ever go away
Don't know my ups from my downs
Seems like my life cannot be found
I've got children who depend on me
I got to be there for my family
All my needs I begin to doubt
There are time when I wish I died
(“The rain will fall”, repeat all the way through the end)
I don't know if I trust myself
Am I ever gonna get somewhere
All this pain from all this rain
How much more can I sustain.
