Lyrics
[Chorus]
Lookin' up to the skies
All I can see is clouds turn grey
And if my luck holds out
Maybe the sun won't shine today
[Chorus]
Let it rain, make it pour
A thunderstorm, is what I'm prayin' for
I need it dark and I want it cruel
Just like the way you played me for a fool
[Verse 1]
I used to love warm nights
The walkin' with you along the shore, oh yeah
Remember I kissed your lips
Said you were the one that I adore
[Verse 2]
You didn't smile or say a word
The wind's whisper was all I heard
I didn't stop to think or realize
But it was there behind your cold blue eyes
Fell asleep dead drunk and woke up wise
[Verse 3]
Give me sheet lightning and heavy hail
Hit me with a triple-shot Bronx cocktail
[Verse 4]
Lookin' up to the skies
All I can see is clouds turn grey
And if my luck holds out
Maybe the sun won't shine today
[Chorus]
So let it teem, let it pour
Oh, through the storm, that's what I'm prayin' for
I leave it dark and I want it cruel
Just like the way you played this sucker for a fool
Maybe the sun won't shine today
