I Can't Stand The Rain

Cassandra Wilson · Other Songs - Cassandra Wilson

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window

Bringing back sweet memories

Ican't stand the rain 'gainst my window

Cause he's not here with me

Hey window pain do you remember

How sweet it used to be

When we were together

Everything was so grand, yes it was

Now that we've parted

There's one sound that I just can't stand

Alone with the pillow

Where his head used to lay, yeah

I know you've got some sweet memories

But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window

Bringing back sweet memories, hey

I can't stand the rain, ooh

'Gainst my window, oh no no

Cause he's not here with me, uh

Alone with the pillow uh uh

Where his head used to lay, yeah

I know you've got some sweet memories

But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say, hey hey

Uh, uh, I can't stand the rain

(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)

Baby, uh, uh, uh, hey hey

Ooh, ooh, uh, uh, hey

Don't you know, 't you think...

No no ooh oooohh hey hey hey hey hey, no

Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum

Oohh ! Get off my window

(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)

Get off my window now, get off my window

Get off my window nah, I can't stand the rain

I can't stand the rain, ooh, can't stand the rain, oh
