I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing as you smell the rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
I only wanted to see you bathing as you smell the rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
I only wanted to see you underneath that smelly rain
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the smelly rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
If you know what I'm singin' about up here, come on raise your hand
Smell the rain, Smell the rain
I only want to see you, only want to see you in the smelly rain
