Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Hello, misfortune, how's my old friend "Mr. Misery"?
I've been away so long
I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
I got no bed to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Met a little honey
At the Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe, yes, I did
One drink and all my money
And that honey bee had flown away
I'm 'bout as low as I can go
I don't really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
All I needed was this rain
All I needed was the rain
