Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Rainy day

Rainy day

[Verse 2]

I'm standin' in the rain

I'm waiting all alone

I'm so tired

I wanna go home

I'm standin' in the rain, gettin' soakin' wet

I'm doin' my best, but what do I get?

[Verse 3]

I'm standin' in the rain, can't seem to get along

Oh, people rushin' by, wish they could hear my song

[Verse 4]

I'm standin' in the rain

It's teeming down on me

Cats and dogs

I wanna be free

[Verse 5]

I'm standin' in the rain, doin' my thing

I'm tryin' my best, what does it bring?

Standin' in the rain, gettin' soakin' wet

I'm doin' my best, but what do I get?

[Verse 6]

The good intentions and the pain

Lay drowned now in the pourin' rain

I tried to be so good this time

But here I am under the sky

[Verse 7]

The good intentions and the pain

Lay drowned now in the pourin' rain

Rainy day
