Well I had a job, but I got laid off
I had a heart but it got too soft
I had a girlfriend and she lied

It's a natural thing for an animal(where is the next one comin' from)
Well I'm tired all of that give and take (where is the next one comin' from)

About all I got was a bellyache
And once a kid has come to town
He talked like a fool and he dressed like a clown.
Only love could have put him down

And it feels like rain

Lying underneath the stars

And how do you do, baby

The clouds roll in across the moon
And the wind howls out your name
And it feels like rain
Baby, can you feel

We ain't ever gonna make
that bridge tonight, babe
across lake Pontchartrain
And it feel like rain

So batten down the hatches baby
Leave your heart out on your sleeve
It looks like we're in for stormy weather
That ain't no cause for us to leave

Just lie here in my arms
And let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain

Baby can you feel it
Gonna let your love wash over me

It feels like rain

I don't care how you feel
You just don't realize
You got yourself a good deal

But deep from the bottom of my heart, baby, I know, you're hurting me
But just as sure, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie

I'd rather fight a bear, baby, jump down in a lions den
Than to hear you keep on telling me baby that this is the end
But just as sure, baby, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie

Alright!
Have mercy baby!
Yes, yes, yes

Yes, just look how you're doing me, baby, since you got up on your feet
You're going away to leave me, baby, I got this without no meat
But just as sure, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie

Oh yeah, baby
Somebody got to help me

My love for you is like, is like a sweet refrain
Real, real true love, is like a burning, burning flame
My love for you will live through storm and rain
My love, my love for you is real.

My love for you, words can never express
God, God only knows, that I'll love you, love you best
With only you my love could ever rest
My love, my love for you is real.

My love for you will live forever
Forever and a day
If you love me, love me my darling
Won't you show me in your own sweet way?

My love for you makes me want you near
Within, within my heart, I really need, need you dear
Sometimes true love can make a, make a man shed tears
My love for you is real.

Oh, my love, oh my love for you is real.
