[Verse 1]
Took all my money, my best friend
You know the story, here it comes again
I have no pride, I have no shame
Gotta make it rain, make it rain

[Verse 2]
Now since you're gone, deep inside it hurts
Just another sad guest on this dark Earth
I want to believe in the mercy of the world again
Make it rain, make it rain

[Verse 3]
Night's too quiet, stretched out alone
I need the whip of thunder and the wind's dark moan
I'm not Abel, I'm just Cain
Open up the heavens, make it rain

[Verse 4]
I'm close to heaven, crushed at the gate
They sharpen their knives on my mistakes
What she done, you can't give it a name
Gotta make it rain, make it rain

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 5]
Without her love, without her kiss
Hell can't burn me much more than this
I'm burning with all this pain
Put out the fire, make it rain

[Verse 6]
I'm born to trouble, born to fate
Inside a promise I can't escape
It's the same old world, nothing looks the same
Gotta make it rain, make it rain

[Chorus]
You've got to make it rain
Oh, you've got to make it rain
Make it rain, got to make it rain
Oh, make it rain

[Outro]
Make it rain
You've got to make it rain
Make it rain
