What good is that happy lie

All you wanted from the start was to cry

Well it looks like another fall

My friends they don't help at all

And I'm feeling kind of cold and small

Think I'll look up my rainy day man

And it does me no good to pretend

When he's made a hole much too big to mend

And it looks like I lose again my friend

Guess I'll have to look up my rainy day man

Rainy day man

He don't like sunshine

Don't chase rainbows

He don't need good times

Grey days roll in

And then you'll see him

It's an empty feelin'

Now I need him

All those noble thoughts they don't belong

If you can't hide the truth with a happy song

And since I knew where I stood all along

Think I'll look up my rainy day man

Simple pleasures all evade you

And the store-bought treasures none can save you

Look for signs to ease the pain

I said, ask again

Why don't you pray for rain

Oh, it looks like another fall

And my friends they don't help at all

And I'm feeling kind of cold and small

Think I'll look up my rainy day man

All I have to do is look at my baby

Look up my rainy day man

Oooo, look up my rainy day man

All I have to do

Is look up my rainy day man...
