Remember when in nursery school age 3 or 4 I put my arm around the girl who lived next door A kiss on the cheek then a slap across my face And birthday parties fun and games with donkey's tails Close your eyes and spin around I never failed "The truth now young man" screamed the witch until I cried Well I wish it would rain upon my head I'd run inside and hide instead Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head 'Til the sun shines my way We signed up soon for all the clubs just me and my dad Our feet were tied and arm and arm we jumped in the sack We fell straight to the ground There was laughter all around Now wearin' rings and pa**in' notes and holdin' hands Goin' steady 'round the roller rink oh you're such a big man I could feel all their eyes Damn these bu*terflies won't end Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
I'd run inside and hide instead Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head I'm better off alone at home Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head Then I could spend all day in bed Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head 'Til the sun shines my way Run for cover on three There you'll be safe from the storm but not from me Tell me what's my next move Haven't got a clue I'm losin' you Oh we grow up so fast Seems everybody's got a test for me to pa** But all I need to be free lives inside of me That's the key Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head And hide this trail of tears I shed Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head I'm better off alone at home Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head Then I could spend all day in bed Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head 'Til the sun shines my way
