I got a friend rain cloud
And I gave her your name
And she follows me around
And she rains on my parade
And we have fast food down at the gates
And I tell her my thoughts
As she kisses my face
And she holds me late at night,
Her gloomy little fingers wrapped 'round me tight,
Calling me baby like you used to do
Oh why the hell do I still think of you?
All the things that I know I can't escape from
Go back to you, to you
And it's hard to let go when all I care for
Goes back to you, to you
Since you left town
All my friends told me to cut you loose
To fall in love with trees and flowers
Since you left town
All my friends told me to cut you loose
To fall in love with pretty colors
I had a friend rain cloud
And she slept in my bed
She was driving me mad
Cause she'd never pay rent
Then I asked her nicely to
Find another place so I can dream of you
Calling me baby like you used to do
Oh why the hell do I still dream of you?
All the things that I know I can't escape from
Go back to you, to you
And it's hard to let go when all I care for
Goes back to you, to you
Since you left town
All my friends told me to cut you loose
To fall in love with trees and flowers
Since you left town
All my friends told me to cut you loose
To fall in love with pretty colors
All the things that I know I can't escape from
I can't escape from
Got a friend rain cloud
And I gave her your name
And she follows me around
And she rains on my parade
