XG “IN THE RAIN” Lyrics

English

Ah, ah

Rain on my shoulder
Cloud in my head
Head over heels
Nothing to fear
‘Cause we had each other
Fought through the weather
There were no other like this
And then you started

Hiding it, sliding in
Baby, it’s so evident
Boy, why are you stuttering
That mouth you still running it
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
Say you’d never been like that, like that

Yeah, I know it’s a shame, what a pity
You got nobody to blame but you, baby
Night after night
All the times, all the tries
I’m washing it all away because you left me

In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
Left me out in the cold
With nobody to hold
Can’t you see? I’m outside, I’m outside, I’m outside
So let it rain, let it rain
What else can I do?

Ain’t no sign of a light
No umbrella to hide
Still I’m standing here, right where you left me
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
In the rain, in the rain, ayy
In the rain

Rain, rain, don’t go away
Please stay another day
Funny how I don’t wanna make it stop (stop)
Heals every time it drop (drop) drop
Each drop, yeah

Right now, you got me dancing in the rain
All by myself like I’m insane
But sometimes the words just can’t explain
I don’t really wanna think about anything
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
And you know I won’t look back, look back

It was only a game, what a pity
Save it all in a frame without me, baby (ah)
Pour down the drain
All the scars, all the pain
I’m washing it all away because you left me

In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
Left me out in the cold
With nobody to hold
Can’t you see? I’m outside, I’m outside, I’m outside
So let it rain, let it rain
What else can I do?

Ain’t no sign of a light
No umbrella to hide
Still I’m standing here, right where you left me
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain (in the rain)
In the rain, in the rain, ayy
In the rain

let it drip and drop down nonstop
Baby, let me soak and scrub, wash you off in the rain

drip and drop down nonstop
Baby, let me soak and scrub, wash you off in the rain (what else can I do?)

drip and drop down nonstop
(No umbrella to hide)
Soak and scrub, wash you off (still I’m standing here right now)

Can’t you see? I’m outside I’m outside I’m outside
In the rain, in the rain, ayy
In the rain
