B.j. Thomas Rainy Day Man
What good is that happy lie?
All you wanted from the start was to cry, girl
It looks like another fall
Your friends they don't seem to help at all
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend, child
You've made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
So go on home and look up your rainy day man
Now rainy day man, he don't like sunshine
He don't chase rainbows, he don't need good times, no
Grey days rolling, then you'll see him
I said empty feeling, Lord now you need him
All those noble thoughts, they just don't belong
You can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along
Just go call up your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures
Lord none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
I said ask again, go on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
All I'm asking just to look up your rainy day man
