Her little man Is four years old Looks like his father So he's been told But he wouldn't know He ain't never Seen him around Life has been cruel He treats her unkind She'll keep on searchin' Until she can find Somethin' she can cling to When the rain comes down A candle just won't light In the pourin' rain The pressures of this life Were drivin' her insane, yeah Now given the chance She knows she can shine But she's so tied down She ain't got the time Candle just won't light In the pourin' rain She was so young Had to quit school Grew up too fast Now, she's nobody's fool No time to dream Life just kinda Leads her around Nine to five world leaves no room to grow She'd spread her wings But there's nowhere to go Her tiny flame is no match For the rain comin' down A candle just won't light In the pourin' rain The pressures of this life Drivin' her insane, yeah Now, given the chance She knows she can shine But she's so tied down She ain't got the time A candle just won't light In the pourin' rain
