[Verse 1: Larry Lovestein] I was walking by myself Just thinking 'bout all the things that make you smile You were crying all alone Wonder when I'm comin' home I have to wait a while So what makes the world go round, is it love? I wanna know right now I could drink away the pain, that don't mean a thing I can't get you out of my mind, no [Chorus] I can't stop the clouds from needing to rain, no, no I can't stop the clouds from needing to rain [Verse 2: Larry Lovestein] Why do we always have to fight? I just wanna treat you right Have you feelin' good Although I can tell you where it goes Know you'll always be my girl from the neighborhood My life, it tend to move so fast This time I wanna make this last I'm making up a lie ‘cause I hate it when you cry I don't want to see you move on, no [Chorus x3] I can't stop the clouds from needing to rain, no, no I can't stop the clouds from needing to rain I can't stop the clouds from needing to rain
