Lyrics:
We used to play out in the rain
Your mother scolded us
She said that we were bad
(She said that we were bad)
I thought I better go on home
(Stepped it off girl)
You watched till I was gone
Oh, girl you looked so sad
I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee
I told you not to cry and held you close to me
[Spoken]
As I was running through the storm
To get my umbrella
(Think about it, think, Think about it, think, Think about it, think,
Think about it, think, Think about it, think)
I stopped in shock when I saw you
With another fella
Oh, wow
{sung}
Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
You broke so many rules at school
I took the blame for you
I guess I was a fool
You use to sneak me notes in class
I'd wink my eye and laugh
Those days went by so fast
Unkind remarks have torn us all apart
I'm still trying to put back the pieces to my heart
[Spoken]
And I'll be crying your name girl
Until my very last breath
(Think about it, think, Think about it, think, Think about it, think,
Think about it, think, Think about it, think)
Cause my exsitance without you
Ain't nothing but a little death
Gosh
{sung}
Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain
{music}
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
(Can you remember the rain)
Think about it, think about it
(Can you remember the rain)
Think about it, think about it
Oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
{fade}

I just want to loop that "Can you remember the raaaaain" over and over again. Its like candy to my ears.
It is a shame that they don't have this album on Spotify. I love this song
sampled like crazy, but no one admits that this is a top 5 track... all time. This kid kills it plus the arranging is so on point
Sounds so much like a young Michael. Extreme talent
2024 anyone?
Black people and culture had it going on back in the day. The masters of song and music no doubt. Nothing on this earth like Old School Black Soul Music. Just a simple fact.
Y’all all from tiktok huh? 😂😂
Jin Gates anyone?
I love when producers sample soul music like this, gives us younger cats a chance to experience the classics
Deep song. You can feel his pain. " You left me for somebody else"
I can’t believe some gumball shitposter brought me to this masterpiece
sooooo obsessed with this song. super sad i cant get it on spotify.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Lyrics
The second that the chorus hit I got chills so hard I got tears in my eyes
Thank you Kendrick for showing this song to the younger generation. Kadhja Bonet's version is so beautiful. I didn't even know it was a cover until now.
How can anyone dislike this masterpiece??
I'm Chicano myself ... love this jam ... no matter what race u are ...real recognizes real
soooooo smooth. they dont make music like this no more.
