[Chorus: Mia X & Mo B. Dick] Sometimes I love the rainy days So my
mind and this pain can drift away Sometimes I love the rainy days So my
mind and this pain can drift away Sometimes I love the rainy days So my
mind and this pain can drift away Sometimes I love the rainy
days
[Mia X] Tears from Heaven rain down and cleanse me I'm out of
control sometimes so much stuff's on my mind I'm trying to find the right
path to walk on Maintain and be strong but I don't know how long I can
keep on, sleep on it My partner said And then nightmares of troubled
times invade the space in my head I'd rather be dead often than to deal with
the pain and pressure So let the rain fall and take it away all
forever But you can never be rid of troubled times You can run away, try
ot block it out but they gon' stay, stand firm So we gotta learn how to deal
with it Look life in the eye be real with it (I'm trying) I'm still
getting bits and pieces of womanhood Finally starting to realize that being
grown ain't all good I would rather be eight at my mom's place Cuddled
and sheltered from the pain But for now I'ma leave it with the
rain
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] Please let it rain before my man comes
home Maybe he'll wanna talk and practice between my thighs Instead of on
my eyes, while my I going throught this I keep asking myself Does
somebody really love you, taking blows at you Controlling you, and do you
really love yourself I don't know, it's like I can't think for myself
anymore I'm looking at the door, Lord please give me the courage to
step And if I do will I regret the day I left Is he the best thing to
ever happen to me And is it a minor flaw when he leaves scars after beating
me Or can it be my self-eteem left with the first bruise Lord, will I
ever be a victim on the evening news, I'm so confused I've got more blues
than B.B. He keeps on pushing and hitting and shoving And then claiming
that he loves me For life, trying to call me his wife No rings of
course So can I give all this pain to the rain, let it
pour
[Chorus] Will I ever, ever, ever in my ruggedy life Live in a
happy home and be a happy man's wife No cheating, no fights, connected to
wealth And proud to look in the mirror and love myself I think not, my
hand full of dreams is all I got One wishing that the rain could make it all
stop Top it off more, all the exit doors are locked Click, change up got
my brain detained and stained What am I to do, Lord please talk to
me This bottle of Valiums keeps calling me
[Thunder claps and rain
falling]
And he spoke, gave a sister award of hope I'm bout to take
my life back for sho' No more, waiting for things to happen for
me Heaven's tears got me seeing things clearly, I love the
rain
