I could feel that it was over
Your love for me diminished slowly
Why couldn't you tell me
You had a lover on your mind
It's no way to treat me
When you know how I feel inside

I could not hide the way
I felt last night
Tears I cried
My love for you I can't deny
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
Yes, I do, yeah, yeah
Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall

Girl, I know what's been going on
You got another lover and
You got it going strong
I been walking round town
With a smile on my face
Trying to fight the hurt
Trying to hide the shame, baby

I cannot cry no more
Now I realize I was too blind, baby
Being the fool in love
You know it aint right, girl
If you really wanna be happy, baby

Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
Oh, how I wish raindrops
Would fall on my face, baby
Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
Ohh, yeah

Nights like this I wish
(Rain, rain, rain, yeah)
That raindrops would fall
(Rain down my face, baby)
Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tears I've cried

I could feel when everything was not too real
Inside, I cried to win your love
You know I tried

Nights like this I wish
(Come on, come on)
That raindrops would fall
(Keep rain fall, falling down on my face, baby)

Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
(Come on, come on, yeah, oh)
Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
(Let them fall, baby, baby, yeah)
Nights like this I wish
That raindrops would fall
