Rain On Me
Tamia · Tamia
I've been drowning in my own tears
Wasting time running from my fears
When all the while you've been right here
Waiting on me
If I'd have told you what I'm going through
You would have let me know just what to do
And now I know the answer lies in you
This is my pain 'cause
[Chorus]
I've been hurt so bad
Sometimes it makes me sad
Would you rain on me?
I don't understand
This was not my plan
Would you rain on me?
Don't stop the rain
Sometimes I felt all alone
Nothing or no one to call my own
But you're the only one that would be
Faithful forevermore
Deep down inside my soul
You're the only one who really knows
What I need to make me whole
So I can smile again, I
[Chorus 2x]
Rain on me, show me love
I'm waiting on you
Yes, I know sometimes it's rough
Tell me what to do
Rain on me, show me love
I'm waiting on you
You said that I could trust in you
That's what I'm going to do
[Chorus]
Wasting time running from my fears
When all the while you've been right here
Waiting on me
If I'd have told you what I'm going through
You would have let me know just what to do
And now I know the answer lies in you
This is my pain 'cause
[Chorus]
I've been hurt so bad
Sometimes it makes me sad
Would you rain on me?
I don't understand
This was not my plan
Would you rain on me?
Don't stop the rain
Sometimes I felt all alone
Nothing or no one to call my own
But you're the only one that would be
Faithful forevermore
Deep down inside my soul
You're the only one who really knows
What I need to make me whole
So I can smile again, I
[Chorus 2x]
Rain on me, show me love
I'm waiting on you
Yes, I know sometimes it's rough
Tell me what to do
Rain on me, show me love
I'm waiting on you
You said that I could trust in you
That's what I'm going to do
[Chorus]
