Rainy day people always seem to know when it's time to call Rainy day people don't talk They just listen till they've heard it all Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you They've been down like you Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow They can't rise above Rainy day lovers don't love any others That would not be kind Rainy day people all know how it hangs On their peace of mind Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you They've been down there, too Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two Rainy day people always seem to know When you're feelin' blue High stepping strutters who land in the gutters Sometimes need one, too Take it or leave it or try to believe it, If you've been down too long, Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on
