Janiva Magness - Make It Rain lyrics

rate me

You took all my money, and my best friend

You know the story, here it comes again

I have no pride, I have no shame

You got to make it rain, make it rain

Since you're gone, deep inside, it hurts

I'm just another sad guest, on this dark earth

I wanna believe, like you, in the mercy of the world again

Make it rain, got to make it rain, make it rain

The night's too quiet, stressed out alone

I need a whip of a thunder and a ... dark moan

I'm not able, I'm just came,

Open up the heavens, and make it raaaaaiiiinnnn

I'm close to heaven, crush at the gate

They sharpen their knives on my mistakes

People want... you can't give the name

You got to make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar solo]

Without his love, without his kiss

Who can burn me, any more than this

I'm burning up, in all this pain

You got to overload the heaven, make it rain

I'm bond to trouble, I'm bond to fate

Inside the promise, I can't escape

It's the same old world, but nothing feels the same

You got to make it rain, make it rain, come on

Make it rain, whoa, you got to make it rain

You got to, come on, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Got to make it rain, rain, make it rain

I stand alone here, I stand alone

She stands alone, I stand alone,

I stand alone, make it rain, whoa, make it rain

Got to make it, make, whoa.

Singer Janiva Magness releases her own version of Tom Waits' “Make It Rain,”. It's a song filled with blues and gospel imagery and sung here with a soulful yearning which Waits only implied. "Stronger for It", Janiva's upcoming album will also contain this song among many others.
