Blue skies go away, now don't you waste my time
'Cause I don't have a place for you inside this heart of mine
You promise brighter days but never do come through
Ever since she went away, blue skies, I've got no use for you

But when I see the clouds come rollin' in
An' the heaven's turnin' gray
I can tell I'm back among good friends
Who know just what I crave

I admit it, I'm addicted to the rain
She always said she loved to hear it on the window pane
While the storm outside was ragin', we would love the night away
No wonder I'm addicted to the rain

There's a calm inside of me when I see lightning flash
And rain's sweet perfume fills me with hope that she just might come back
'Cause I can hear her in the wind an' feel her in the mist
As I walk these streets, I'm wonderin' what went wrong an' where she is

The roll of thunder seems to ease
The pain I feel inside
And then the pourin' rain no-one can see
These teardrops in my eyes

I admit it, I'm addicted to the rain
She always said she loved to hear it on the window pane
While the storm outside was ragin', we would love the night away
No wonder I'm addicted to the rain

I admit it, I'm addicted to the rain
She always said she loved to hear it on the window pane
I remember how she'd wake me, an' we'd love the night away
No wonder I'm addicted to the rain
