I can't make the moon glow

And I can't make a gray storm cloud

And I can't make the wind blow or the sun come out

I can't make the waves break

And I can't turn the whole sky blue

No, I can't do a lot of things, but there's one thing that I can do

I can make it rain

I can make her tears fall down

Take everything we used to be and leave it puddled up on the ground

Yeah, I can make it flood

And watch it wash it all away

Take all our love and pour it down the drain

Yeah, I can make it rain

I can make it rain

No, I can't make her stay

And I can't make her take me back

I can't make her miss me, no, I can't do none of that

I can't make her smile

And I can't make her hurt no less

And, no, I can't unbreak her heart, but I can leave it soakin' wet

'Cause I can make it rain

And I can make her tears fall down

Take everything that we used to be and leave it puddled up on the ground

'Cause I can make it flood

And watch it wash it all away

Take all our love and pour it down the drain

Yeah, I can make it rain

I can make it rain

And I can see her pain in every drop

But I can't see no way to make it stop

But I can make it rain

And I can make her tears fall down

Take everything that we used to be and leave it puddled up on the ground

Yeah, 'cause I can make it flood

And watch it wash it all away

And take all our love and pour it down the drain

Yeah, I can take all our love and just pour it down the drain

'Cause I can make it rain

Yeah, I can make it rain
