Cry Like a Rainstorm - Bonnie Raitt

Nobody knows except my pillow at night All through the day how many tears I have to fight And oh, when I'm all alone, yeah I just cry like a baby I cry like a baby Oh (I cry) Oh (I cry) yeah Nobody sees except my mirror on the wall I'm not the fairest, I'm the bluest of them all And, oh When I'm all alone, yeah I just cry like a baby I cry like a baby Oh (I cry) Oh (I cry) yeah Each day I say tomorrow will be my lucky day Ah-ha, yeah And my pillow will be surprised when I come home with a glad eyes And the mirror on the wall will see that I'm happiest of them all, ooh No more nights staring at that empty chair Because I know that you will be standing there And ooh, when I'm alone, yeah, I won't Cry like a baby Cry like a baby Oh, yeah Said I won't cry (I won't cry) no I won't cry like a baby Woo-hoo no (cry like a baby) Oh-ho, yeah

I'm on my own where I found you alone You were caught up in somebody else's mess And yes, I drank all those drinks on my own My life's become some blurry little quest And the clock kept ticking slowly And you leaned over and asked me If I even had a clue where I was Well, lie down on wood floor And my brain and body took us In the night and then as though it never was It all began to feel insane I wanna know where they keep the rain Silvia, right back where you came from You're a pendulum, heartbroken in number Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough Enough is enough Sick to the bone on my steps to my home The moon shines through the drapery and leaves To her to ignore everyone of my own My true love just to feel some made-up breeze But as my body crumbled, you walked as I just stumbled And we spoke only of things made in my head You never once controlled me, what all the others told me But if I kept on going I'd be dead It's not just you who felt the pain Now tell me where they keep the rain Silvia, right back where you came from You're a pendulum, heartbroken in number Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough Enough's always too tough See what I've done now, I don't understand She says I screamed and I that I raised my hand But I never meant to, wasn't even there I never meant to, I would never dare Silvia, right back where you came from You're a pendulum, heartbroken in number Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough Enough is enough

I'd cry like a baby if you told me, "Goodbye" I'd feel like a snowball on the fourth of July If you ever said you were leavin' for good I'd weep like a weepin' willow, honest I would I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon I'd let out a wail that would be heard on the moon Our love was so splendid, don't end it so soon Don't leave me here sighin', a-sobbin' and a-sighin' Cryin' like a baby for you I'd cry like a baby if you told me, "Goodbye" I'd feel like a snowball on the 4th of July If you ever said you were leavin' for good I'd weep like a weepin' willow, honest I would I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon I'd let out a wail that would be heard on the moon Our love was so splendid, don't end it so soon Don't leave me here sighin', a-sobbin' and a-sighin' Cryin' like a baby for you

Yeah baby, I've been drinking, And I shouldn't come by I know But I found myself in trouble darling, And I had no place else to go Got some whiskey from a bar man, Got some cocaine from a friend I just had to keep on moving, Till I was back in your arms again ---- Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life How come I never do, What I'm supposed to do Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right ---- Well you know how it is with me baby, You know I just can't stand myself It takes a whole lot of medicine, For me to pretend to be somebody else.

Nobody else could make me happy No one could hurt me like you do You were the only one that mattered Then you were gone, love had moved on Left me alone thinking of You, there was never any other You, and I were created to be true Isn't it love that keeps us breathing Isn't it love we're sent here for Wasn't that love that we were feeling (That was something baby) Deep in our soul, deeper than we know Keeping me holding out for You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together True hearts in a world where love is dyin' And I might as well have been dyin' when We were apart When you came back I felt the beating of my heart You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together You, and only you It was you, only you You, always you

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love a love that was so strong And as I still walk on I think of the things We've done together while our hearts were young I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my runaway I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder baby yeah you know why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my little runaway Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) You left me standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway) Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) Standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway)
