Bonnie Raitt Rainy Day Man lyrics

What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry

Well, it looks like another fall
My friends they don't help at all
And I'm feeling kind of cold and small
Think I'll look up my rainy day man

And it does me no good to pretend
When he's made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like I lose again my friend
Guess I'll have to look up my rainy day man

Rainy day man he don't like sunshine
Don't chase rainbows he don't need good times
Gray days roll in and then you'll see him
It's an empty feelin', now I need him

All those noble thoughts they don't belong
If you can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since I knew where I stood all along

Think I'll look up my rainy day man

Simple pleasures all evade you
And the store-bought treasures but none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
I said, "Ask again why don't you pray for rain"

Oh, it looks like another fall
And my friends they don't help at all
And I'm feeling kind of cold and small
Think I'll look up my rainy day man

All I have to do is look at my baby
Look up my rainy day man
Ooh, look up my rainy day man
All I have to do
Look up my rainy day man
