(1st verse)
Rain fell this morning , Make me feel so bad , On account of my baby ,
Walked off with another man , Like taking eye sight from the blind man ,
And money from the poor , That woman took my lovin' ,
And walked out that door .

(chorus)
And it sure (nuff) got cold , After the rain fell , Not from the sky ,
(but) From my eye .

(2nd verse)
Somebody can you tell me , Just what make a man feel this way ,
Like a river without it's water , Like night without a day .

(3rd verse)
If ever early in the morning , You hear that rain to fall ,
With thunder bolts and lightning , The wind begins to call ,
Your worries superficial , Cause you slept on through the night ,
But stormy weather keep you wonderin' , If everythings alright .
