Make Me Love The Rain

(album: Betty Wright - 1981)

Oooooo, ooh... yeah
I thought about your love today, I cried
I said I didn't love you, boy, I lied
Your love has cast a spell on me, and how?
Today you say you're leaving me, what now?

Oh, I just gotta find a way
I, I wanna make you stay
I've been saving all my love for a rainy day
And this rainy day has come
I gotta share my love with someone
Just stay... and make me love the rain

(Ooh, come in from the rain)
Say I'll get to love you 'til I can't feel no pain
(My love won't be in vain) and I'll love the rain, baby
(Won't you help me ease the pain)

I'm sorry that I made you feel so bad
By playing hard to get and making you mad
But now the shoe's on the other foot, and how?
You're hurting me more than the law allows

Oh, I just gotta find a way (there must be a way)
I, I wanna make you stay
I've been saving all my love for a rainy day
(Rainy day has come along) yes it has
And this rainy day has come
I gotta share my love with someone
Just stay, baby... (darling, won't you stay)
And make me love the rain

(Ooh, won't you come inside)
Say I'll get to love you 'til I can't feel no pain
(My love won't be denied) and I'll love the rain, baby
(You can make my tears subside)

I know you're gonna wanna pay me back
(I know you're gonna wanna pay me back)
But when you're through, just give me what I lack
(You know what I lack, baby)
And that's the love and fire you know that you possess
(The love and fire you know that you possess)
'Cause if you don't, my heart won't stand the test

I confess, I just gotta find a way (ain't no words to say)
I, I wanna make you stay (oh...)
I've been saving all my love for a rainy day
(Rainy day has come along) yes it has
And this rainy day has come
I gotta share my love with someone
Just stay... darling, won't you stay, stay, stay, stay
And make me love, make me love...
Why don't you make me love the rain

(Ooh, come in from the rain)
Oh, oh baby, why don't cha (my love won't be in vain)
Come inside... (won't you come and ease the pain)
Why don't cha, baby? (won't you come inside)
Come on inside, my love (my love won't be denied)
(You can make my tears subside) oh baby, baby

Don't cha feel the rain just pouring down (this time it will be)
I don't mind, 'cause you're around (right for you and me)
Thunder rolling, lightning flashing (this time we'll find ecstasy)
All I feel is your love's passion
So (ooh) ohh, (ooh) ohh, (ooh) ohh (ooh)...
Come inside and feel the fire
Let me take you higher...
(Ooh, come in from the rain
My love won't be in vain
Won't you help me ease the pain...)
