Ashanti lyrics - Rain on Me

album: Chapter II (2003)

I'm looking in the mirror at this woman down and out
She's internally dying and knew this was not what’s love’s about
I don't want to be this woman the second time around
cause I'm waking up screaming
no longer believing
That I'm going to be around.

(PRE-HOOK)
Over and over I try
and over and over you lie 
And over and over I cry, [over yaaa..]
Over and over I try
and over and over you lie 
And over and over I cry
[I don’t know why]

(CHORUS)
Rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me.
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe,
till you just rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me 
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe,

(SECOND-VERSE)
See, I don't wanna hug my pillow late at night no more 
I'm tossin’ and turnin’ and thinkin’ about burning down these walls
I don't want to fuel this fire no more, no more, no more.
See I made up my mind cause I wasted my time,
ain't nothing here to keep me warm

(PRE-HOOK)
Over and over I try
and over and over you lie 
And over and over I cry,
[over and over, I don’t know why]
Over and over I try
and over and over you lie 
And over and over I cry
[I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried,  ooohh…]

(CHORUS/BRIDGE)
Rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me.
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe,
till you just rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me 
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe,
till you just rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me 
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe

I'm so tired of the rain
in my life
and I'm so tired of the strain 
and ain’t gonna lie
cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
this here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by.
Sometimes I can't sleep at night and 
this here it just don’t seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I 
almost let my life go by 
[ooohhh…]

(CHORUS)
Rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me.
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe,
Till you just rain on me.
Lord won’t you take this pain from me 
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe.
Rain on me
Lord won’t you take this pain from me.
I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe,
Till you just rain on me.
Lord won’t you take this pain from me,
And I don't wanna live I don't wanna breathe.
