It's funny but I can't laugh It's so sad but I can't cry But it doesn't mean There's nothing left inside I got some nasty scars To prove what I been through I guess it's safe to say That I'm nothing like you When your smile is your best kept secret But when you smile, they say, girl, just keep it Desperate for change But things never change So I'd rather stand in the rain Though it's pouring down on me It's washing all my pain away Oh, I'd rather stand in the rain It is pouring down on me But it's washing all my pain Washing all my pain away The water's rising high It overtakes my life And I am saturated I am I won't let it drown me 'Cause hope has got me floating Behind the clouds A rain, oh, waits for me When your smile is your best kept secret But when you smile, they say, girl, just keep it You're desperate for a change But things never change So I'd rather stand in the rain Though it's pouring down on me It's washing all my pain away So I'd rather stand in the rain It is pouring down on me But it's washing all my pain Washing all my pain away Away, away, away, away Pain away, pain away, pain away, away Pain is gone (It's raining) Pain is gone (It's raining) Oh, it's gone (It's raining) Because it is raining on me (It's raining) Oh, whoa (It's raining) I know that it's raining (It's raining) Raining my pain away (It's raining) Draining my stress away (It's raining) Oh, raining (It's raining) Oh, raining (It's raining) Oh, rain (It's raining) Raining my pain away, my pain away (It's raining) Oh, oh, oh (It's raining) I can feel the rain (It's raining) Washing my pain away (It's raining) And washing my tears away (It's raining) When your smile is your best kept secret When you smile, they say, girl, just keep it Desperate for change But things never change So I'd rather stand in the rain
