Oh, I can't stand the rain against my window
It's bringing back sweet memories
Hey, window pane, do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together, oh-ah
Everything was so grand (so grand)
But now that we've parted
There's one sound that I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain (rain)
Against my window, oh-ah (rain against my window)
It's bringing back sweet memories
Oh, I can't stand the rain (rain)
Against my window, oh (rain against my window pane)
It keeps on haunting me, oh, ah (rain)
Itapita-pata
Always makes me sadder
I'll get my keys falling down
Itapita-pata (pata)
Always makes me sadder (sadder)
I'll get my keys falling down, down, down, down, down
Oh, I can't stand the rain (rain)
Against my window, oh-ah (rain against my window)
Oh, It keeps on haunting me
Yeah, yeah, rain (rain)
Against my window pane (rain against my window pane)
Just won't let me be lonely (rain)
Talking 'bout the rain (rain)
Against my window pane, ha-ha (rain against my window, oh)
Just won't let me be
No-no-no-no-no, oh, ha-ha (rain)
Against my window pane, oh, Lord (rain against my window pane)
Keeps on haunting me (rain)
(Rain, rain against my window, oh)
(Rain, rain against my window pane, eh)
(Rain, rain against my window, oh)
(Rain, rain against my window pane, eh)
Well, well, rain (rain)
Yeah (rain against my window, oh)
Lord under that funky rain (rain)
Uhm (rain, rain against my window pane, eh)
I don't believe y'all know what I'm talking about this evening (rain)
Another afternoon just the other day, eh-yeah (rain against my window, uh)
Weatherman said the sun will surely come my way, my way (rain)
But don't you know that they ought to let him go, yeah (rain against my window pane, eh)
Every thing, they said that it's gonna rain, and more, and more, and more, ah! (Rain)
Rain, oh-eh (rain against my window, oh)
Why don't it come again, another day, another day, another day (rain)
Uhh, Lord-uh, yeah (rain against my window pane, eh)
You need to go, you need to go away (rain)
Rain, rain, go away (rain against my window, oh)
My baby boy is gonna spare his lunch for y'all, ha-ha, woah (rain)
No, no, no-oh (rain against my window pane, eh)
Why don't you go away, my baby's gonna get to here, he's gonna say, "No"
Rain! (Rain)
Ooh! (Rain against my window, oh)
No-no-no-no-no (rain)
