The Rain Lyrics

Kelly Price

It's funny but I can't laugh,
It's so sad but I can't cry
But it doesn't mean there's nothing left inside
I got some nasty scars to prove what I been through
I guess it's safe to say that I'm nothing like you

When your smile is your best kept secret
When you smile they say girl just keep it
Desperate for change but things never change

[Chorus:]
So I'd rather stand in the rain
Though it's pouring down on me
It's washing all my pain away
Oh, I'd rather stand in the rain
And it's pouring down on me
But it's washing all the pain
Washing all my pain away

The water's rising high
It over takes my life
And I am saturated, I am
Won't let it drown me
Cause hope's got me floating
Behind the clouds, a rain will wait for me

When your smile is your best kept secret
When you smile they say girl just keep it
You're desperate for change but things never change

[Chorus:]
So I'd rather stand in the rain
It is pouring down on me
But it's washing all the pain away
So I'd rather stand in the rain
And it's pouring down on me
But it's washing all my pain
Washing all my pain away
Away, away, away, away,
Pain away, pain away, away

[Ad-libs]
Pain is gone, it's raining
Ooh it's gone, because it is raining on me
I said that it's raining
Raining my pain away
It's raining
I can feel the rain
Washing my pain away
Washing my tears away

When your smile is your best kept secret
When you smile they say girl just keep it
Desperate for change but things never change

So I'd rather stand in the rain
