Standing In The Rain

Al Green

I've been standing in the rain
The cold, hard driving rain
I withstood all the pain
Standing out here in the rain

Do you know my name?
Mister undo the pain and shame, that's right ah-hah
Everything is in my hand
Standing out here in the rain, yeah, yeah.

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-dai-da, da-da-da-da da, da, da-da, da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-dai-da, da-da-da-da da, da, da-da, da

Write this down if you can
I'm a cold, hard working man, yeah
See this guitar in my hand, yeah
I'm standing out here in the rain, hey, hey

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-dai-da, da-da-da-da da, da, da-da, da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-dai-da, da-da-da-da da, da, da-da, da

[Sung over coda:]
Summer time, let it rain

Summer time, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Out on the town, oh yeah

Standing, standing here
Standing here, standing here
Standing, standing here

Standing out here, standing
Standing, standing out here

Oh yeah, oh my, my, my, my

Somebody help it rain

No, no, no somebody stop the rain
Stop it, stop the rain, yeah, hey, oh
