NO ONE LIKES THE RAIN (Joey Molland)
[from The Pilgrim LP - recorded 1992 - released U.S. 1992]
[from The Pilgrim CD - recorded 1992 - released U.S. 1992]

I know, the water gets a little deep sometimes
The love's not coming and you're losin' all those nights
You lie there staring at the ceiling, what went wrong?
Was it something you said or did?
Maybe, you just don't know

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again

The days remembered and it seems so long ago
Since you pretended it was easy to fall in love
Those days were numbered, the nights rolled on and on
Until that morning when you woke up so alone

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again

Looking for something, someone who understands
Maybe you'll find them, maybe it's in your hand
Living on rainbows, walking the streets of dreams
Wait 'til the pain goes, maybe you'll be released

[guitar solo]

You cheated love and used a lover to hide your crime
The lover left you for another and now it's time

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain...

NO ONE LIKES THE RAIN (aka OOH, BABY) (Joey Molland)
[demo version]

I know, the water gets a little deep sometimes
The love's not coming and you're losin' all those nights
You lie there staring at the ceiling, what went wrong?
Was it something you said or did?
Maybe, you just don't know

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again

The days remembered and it seems so long ago
Since you pretended it was easy to fall in love
The days were numbered and the nights rolled on and on
Until that morning when you woke up all alone

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again

Living on rainbows, walking the streets of dreams
Wait 'til the pain goes, maybe you'll be released
Living on rainbows, walking the streets of dreams
Wait 'til the pain goes, maybe you'll be released

[keyboard solo]

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, lightning strikes again

You cheated love and used a lover to hide your crime
The lover left you for another and now it's time

Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
Ooh, baby, no one likes the rain
No one likes the rain
