Everybody's gonna catch their death
   In the pouring rain
   Everybody better hold their breath
   In the pouring rain
   Everybody's gonna walk on by
   Everbody hide away
   Everbody's gonna pull their blinds
   And stay inside and pass these days
   I know I've seen a lot
   Lord knows sometimes I've cried
   But I know we can't sit like this
   And shake our fists
   While lovers kiss and die
   In the pouring rain
  
   I was hungry and I'm hungry still
   And now it's pouring rain
   I look o.k. but I've been feeling ill
   And now it's pouring rain
   Well hush now baby, don't you cry
   Tears won't wipe away the pain
   There's a storm been blowing through the night
   That's washed us down with lethal rain
   Sometime's this world's too big
   Sometime's we feel too small
   Sometimes you'll have to pick me up
   When I grow tired
   Stumble, trip and fall
   In the pouring rain
  
   I'm gonna walk on by
   Don't wanna see you cry
   I'm gonna walk on by
   In the pouring rain
