[Verse]
A black cat moans when he's burnin' with the fever
A stray dog howls when he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy with the thoughts of retribution
Then a man starts weepin' when he's sick and tired of life
[Verse]
I keep on dreamin' dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wastin' my time lightin' candles in the wind
Always takin' my chances on the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow paints a lonely tapestry
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun is shinin'
Ooh, but it's rainin' in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
[Chorus]
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
[Verse]
I can never deny all the sweet things I've tasted
Though I've been mistreated, I keep coming back for more, more, more
I know where I'm goin', there's no hope for absolution
I can't seem to separate the good times from the bad
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun is shinin'
Ooh baby, it's still rainin' in my heart, in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
[Chorus]
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
No, no, no!
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun is shinin'
But it's rainin' in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
[Chorus]
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
[Outro]
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
