Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a perfect day, I know that I can count on you
When that's not possible
Tell me, can you weather the storm?
[Verse 2]
'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and bad times
She will always, always be right there
[Verse 3]
Sunny days, everybody loves them, tell me, baby
Can you stand the rain?
Storms will come
This we know for sure (This we know for sure)
Can you stand the rain?
[Verse 4]
Love unconditional, I'm not asking just of you
And girl to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done
[Verse 5]
But I need somebody who will stand by me (Oh, yeah, yeah)
When it's tough, she won't run
She will always be right there for me, hee
[Verse 6]
Sunny days, everybody loves them, tell me, baby
Can you stand the rain? (Can you stand it?)
Oh (I know, I know, I know, I know)
Storms will come
(I know, I know all the days won't be perfect)
This we know for sure (This we know for sure)
(But tell me can you stand it)
Can you stand the rain? (Can you stand the rain?)
Can you stand the rain (Can you stand the rain?)
This we know for sure
(No pressure, no pressure from me, baby)
Can you stand the rain?
This we know for sure
('Cause I want you, and I need you, and I love you, girl)
Can you stand the rain?
This we know for sure
(Tell me, baby)
Can you stand the rain? (Will you be there for me?)
This we know for sure
[Verse 7]
Ah, come on, baby, let's go get wet
[Verse 8]
Can you stand the rain?
Can you stand the rain? (This we know for sure)
Can you stand the rain?
Will you be there, girl? (This we know for sure)
Can you stand the rain?
Storms will come for sure (This we know for sure)
Can you stand the rain?
Can you stand the rain? (This we know for sure)
Can you stand the rain?
(This we know for sure)
[Verse 9]
Uh, the storms will come
But I know, I know I'll be right there, yeah
