THE RAIN by Oran "Juice" Jones [1986]

I saw you (and him, and him)

Walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll

Never be the same

Tossin’ and turning, another sleepless night

The rain crashes against my window pane

Jumped into my car, didn’t drive too far

That moment I knew, I would never be the same

‘Cause I saw you (and him, and him)

Walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll

Never be the same

I saw you (and him, and him)

Walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll

Never be the same

Now, here you are begging to me

To give our love another try

Girl, I love you and I always will

But, darling, right now, I’ve got to say goodbye

‘Cause I saw you (and him, and him)

Walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll

Never be the same

I saw you (and him)

Walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll

Never be the same

(I saw you

Walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll

Never be the same)

Hey, hey, baby, how you doin’, come on in here

Got some hot chocolate on the stove waitin’ for ya

Listen, first things first, let me hang up that coat

Yeah, ‘n’ how’s your day today, did ya miss me?

Oh, you did, yeah, I missed you, too

I missed you so much I followed you today

That’s right

Now close your mouth

‘Cause you cold busted

That’s right, now sit down here

Sit down here

So upset with you I don’t know what to do

‘N’ my first impulse was to run up on you

And do a Rambo

Whip out the jammy and flat-blast both of you

But I ain’t wanna mess up this thirty-seven hundred dollar lynx coat

So instead… I chilled (yeah)

That’s right, chilled, then I went to the bank

Took out every dime

And then I went and cancelled all those credit cards

Yeah

All your charge accounts

Yeah

I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought you

Yeah

That’s right, everything

Everything

Did fool out with me

Naw, don’t go, you ever go, don’t go looking in that closet

‘Cause you ain’t got nothing in there

Everything you came here with

(I saw you – Ah yeah

Walking in the rain – in the rain, in the rain, baby, baby

You were holding hands and I’ll – hey

Never be the same – stand up, stand up, stand up, oh

I saw you – ah, still a baby

Walking in the rain – walking in the rain, walking in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll – oh, yeah

Never be the same – hey

I saw you – I saw you babe

Walking in the rain – standing there in the rain

You were holding hands and I’ll…)

Is packed up and waiting for you in the guest room

That’s right, what was you thinking about, huh?

What were you tryin’ to prove, huh?

You’s with the Juice

‘N’ I gave you silk suits, Gucci handbags, blue diamonds

I gave you things you couldn’t even pronounce

Now I can’t give you nothin’ but advice

‘Cause you’re still young

That’s right, you’re still young

I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this

You know?

Gonna find someone like me one of these days

Until then, know what you gotta do?

You gotta get on outta here with that

Alley-cat-coat-wearin’

Hush-puppy-shoe-wearin’

Crumb cake I saw you with

‘Cause you dismissed

That’s right, silly rabbit

Tricks are made for kids, don’t you know that?

You without me: like cornflake without the milk

It’s my world, you just a squirrel, tryin’ to get a nut

Now get on outta here

Ah!

Don’t touch that coat!
