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' grey,
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 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.
