Give me skies of black and blue, the way you make me feel*
Give me skies of green and red, cold winds will make it real
Storms are brewing deep within of hurt and loss of pride
It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown
So I fit right in
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain
I don't care about politics or the hypocrites on my T.V
I'm not mad at the girl who left because she couldn't be with me
So make up the theories about the scandals and the lies
Start out depressed, everything comes as a pleasant surprise
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown
So I fit right in
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown
So I fit right in
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain
