I want to know Have you ever seen the rain? Have you ever seen the rain Comin' down on a sunny day? Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know; it's been comin' for some time. When it's over so they say

You can have the house Girl all I want you to leave me is alone You can have the money You can have every penny that I will make from this here song Don't act surprised it ain't like you didn't know It's been a long long time comin' and it's time for me

And every time I close my eyes And you've got me too (You've got me too) And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause Girl, it's been a long, long time comin' yes it has But I, I know that it's been worth the wait yeah It feels like springtime in

Stir it up, little darlin', stir it up. Come on, baby Come on and stir it up, little darlin', stir it up. O-oh! It's been a long, long time, yeah! (Stir it, stir it, stir it together) Since I've got you on my mind (oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh! Now you are here

I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you No one like you There's no one like you Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart Much too long for a man who needs love I miss you since I've been

(Takin' my time) You'll forget about me after I've been gone And I take what I find, I don't want no more It's been such a long time I think I should be goin', yeah And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin' Sail on, on a distant highway I've got

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain Coming down on a sunny day Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know, and its been coming for sometime When its over so they say It'll bring a sunny day I know, shining down like water

It's been a long time running It's well worth the wait It's the same mistake Does your mother tell you things? Long, long when I'm gone? Who you talking to? Is she telling you I'm the one? It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake Drive-in's rained out

I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you No one like you There's no one like you Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart Much too long for a man who needs love I miss you since I've been

More mess on my thing I'm done with waiting, waiting, oh I'm done with waiting, waiting, waiting, oh The hard times have been the longest battle for me (oh oh, hey yo) But freedom's inside, it's time to take what I need (oh oh, hey yo) Na-na-na-na (woo!)
