Ne-Yo - The Rain Lyrics






(Whoa whoa oh, mm)
(Mm, whoa whoa oh)

Twenty-seventh of January, I think he died a year ago today.
She's crying on my shoulder and begging me to make the hurting go away.
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt
A heart full of pain and fear
I want to tell her it's okay but we both know she's the reason he's not here.

(Mm)
I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all.
(Seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another rain drop falls.
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vein (the try would be in vein).
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain.
So I cry (Oooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain (Oooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could, ya know I would, but the try would be in vein.
So I cry oooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain.

Faded picture in a little gold locket
She never takes it off.
I know it's small but it's heavy,
Cause it's filled with the guilt of knowing she's why his life is lost.
I feel bad for her but I'm having mixed emotions,
'Cause he was a friend of mine.
And somewhere in the deepest, darkest part of my mind,
I wish it was her that died that night.
(Mm)
I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all.
(Seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another rain drop falls.
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vein (the try would be in vein).
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain.
So I cry (Oooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain (Oooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could, ya know I would but the try would be in vein.
So I cry oooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain.

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating love, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink.
Got in the car, and he can barely stand up
So she thinketh that she drive
Staring at him not the road, sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times

(Mm)
I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all.
(Seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another rain drop falls.
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vein (the try would be in vein).
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain.
So I cry (Oooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain (Oooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Said if I could, ya know I would, but the try would be in vein.
So I cry oooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain.

    I like Jennifer Hudson version better. She sang it with more emotion & pain. NeYo a good singer to but I prefer J.Hudson version over his even tho he wrote it.

  9. J.... P....

    It's a good song, I just like JHud version better.

    J.... P....

    Me to. You can feel more emotion & pain when she sing it.

    J.... P....

    This is just the demo that ne yo gave j hud so she can hear how the song will go. He wrote and produced the song. This is how they do in the industry

    J.... P....

    Jason Previlon that's good because he wrote it for her. That's the sign of a good songwriter: writing songs to suit an artist's voice and style.

  10. o.... ....

    I always thought Neyo's version was better than Jennifer Hudson's... You can tell he wrote it, it fits his voice better.

  33. k.... ....

    neyo sings it better he should have released this song instead of jennifer hudson.

  34. t.... w....

    @cassandra21raiders cuz he wrote it for her

  35. s.... ....

    Ear-gasmic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. T.... S....

    Sadly, as much as I like J-Hud, Neyo put more soul into this song. Which is kinda messed up since he wrote it for Jennifer Hudson.

  37. G.... I....

    Can you buy this song from I tunes ??? I love it....=)

  38. s.... ....

    i love this song a legend is ne-yo

  39. M.... ....

    @Kristolline think before u post ;)

  40. T.... S....

    @KrisLeonardo I just figured it out a little while ago, my bad.
    I didn't know and I don't see any reason to insult me (:

  41. T.... S....

    This is not Ne-yo's song ! It's Jennifer Hudson's (:

    T.... S....

    Traicy S. He wrote it,so...

  42. X.... H....

    He is the best
    Who agrees

  43. e.... ....

    @HydePark901 Haha you fail! This is Ne-yo, and if you were such a big fan of his work, then you know that he has a variety of voices. I mean that's one of the things that makes him into such a great artist. In some of his songs you can almost feel that the inspiration from Michael Jackson is behind it. And yeah it sounds gay, maybe it's because it's a demo for Hudson? So it's not supposed to sound gay, because it was never meant to be released.

  44. E.... H....

    I love this song!! ITS AMAZING

  45. H.... ....

    lol wow nice song but i think this not ne-yo,n im a big fan of his work, i think this a guy trying to sound like him,n if this was ne yo y he didnt hit the high note at the end like mrs. hudson did.i think she did a great job on the song, this sound kind of gay cuz its about the person loving sumone from the outside looking in the inside,n luv this guy very much but they are friends but his girl friend killed him now she mad at her 4 wat she done 4 life. this song sound gay..lol this not ne yo

  46. h.... k....

    I love bread !

  47. c.... b....

    @chelsiiee90 it is not a copy of jennifer hudson... Ne-yo wrote the song for her and made sang it first.. get your shit straight

  48. f.... ....

    @chelsiiee90 This is actually a demo. Ne-Yo wrote the song for her. :)

  49. c.... b....

    Talent!!!

  50. M.... B....

    llllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeee dis song

  51. M.... ....

    my baby daddy! he so fine.

  52. u.... ....

    Sounds like a goo dfollow up for the Mad video.... And yea, he wrote it and Jennifer did it on her album... Both versions are nice... But I must confess, I like this one the best

  53. S.... ....

  60. D.... P....

  62. V.... H....

    i love this song its got a great beat

  63. b.... j....

    best singer ne yo go

  64. l.... ....

    @Pkdude113 I'm sure I made this comment months ago, and I don't even feel like going back to see what I typed exactly. J Hud is and will always be a better singer .. and I'm not debating my opinion with anyone on here..

  65. i.... ....

    pfffffffffffffffff:x:x:x

  66. T.... M....

    yeah this Neyo's writing and demo for JHud's cd... She did it justice!! It's a beautiful song!!

  67. t.... ....

    :O this song is pretty much the greatest i've ever heard !

  68. A.... ....

    yo he makes his own songs to

  69. K.... B....

    WHY IS EVERYONE SOOOO DUMB... NEYO IS A WRITER, SO SAYING IT SOUNDS BETTER WITH HIS VOICE AINT GONNA MAKE A FUKEL DIFFERENCE... HE WROTE THE SONG FOR JENNIFER HUDSON and this is just the demo AS tears37 said... thats why he didnt release it fools

  70. A.... M....

    I think NeYo should keep this for him. I love Jennifer Hudson but it sounds good with his voice. and plus he sexy. thats always a plus

  71. J.... R....

    it is it's on her album

  72. J.... R....

    omg this is just a demo he wrote for jennifer hudson its on her album i knew it sounded like something neyo would write...

  73. l.... ....

    uh yeah idiot, I forgot posted on this vid anywayz.. But Jenn is a better singer than Ne-Yo EVER will be he admitted to her outsinging him on a track.. So all you stans can STFU and sit down somewhere.. u can thumbs down the post all u want, don't matter lol..

  74. l.... ....

    Jennifer's version is WAY better not even close..

  75. A.... W....

    where can i download this song?

  76. C.... ....

    das lied ist einfach der hamma alt aber immer noch gut

  77. M.... B....

    Neyo is one of the best!! <3

  78. R.... B....

    Best Songwriter EVER...Ne-Yo+Stargate=Dream-Team..! Every time I thing 'Hey nice new Song Ne-Yo' it's just a Demo...xD "Can't stop the Rain" - How long I was waiting for a full Song? Near 2years I thing =S and then there was "His Mistakes" the Demo for Usher..2nd time I fall for it xD

    Ne-Yo is a genuine deity regarding music <3

  79. F.... ....

    Ace, look at how many people comment him and say they love his music to how many people don't because he's gay . It's like comparing plankton to a Dinosaur.

  80. q.... ....

    Ne-yo= an angel

  81. a.... ....

    your cool.
    the way i am now.
    =]

  82. S.... Q....

    jhud's version was wayyy betta...his didnt really hav any emotion to it

  83. B.... M....

    LOVE IT♥♥♥

  84. c.... ....

    sure, but the thing is ne-yo is amazing in almost all the demos he makes. This song is a perfect example. This song was givin to Jennifer Hudson, which (in my opinion) ruined a beautiful song...

    Listen to: Over My Head, Better Today, My Diamond..... perfect vocals... he is amazing! :) I know it sounds a bit gay, but i freakin love this mans music!!

  85. l.... ....

    Damn i like this one !

  86. c.... ....

    this is a HIT.... no one puts more passion into this song than ne-yo... simply brilliant

  87. K.... ....

    i like this song but i prefere jennifer's version to be honest. its got more soul into the song!

  88. C.... ....

    I like both versions...neyos version is more smooth vocal.. i want to almost say easy listening.. jennifer hudsons is def more power vocal...more soul..

  89. E.... S....

    J Hud's version sounds ,ore like a soulful song cos of her voice and thats how d song sud even feel, Neyo's sounnds like your regular rnb song which doesn't give d song much emotions...I luv them both but i played J Hud's version 4x back to back n would listen to it more cos of d soulfulness...

  90. s.... ....

    AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU? OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERES THE CATCH Send To 3 vids

  91. Y.... H....

    I love the begining of this song

    its sad though :(

  93. n.... ....

  94. C.... B....

    i like the jennifer Hudson version better, but he is a really good songwriter and singer, i just like jennifer hudsons voice with this better, she sings it with so much passion in her voice, and when she hits those high notes it sounds like she is crying her version is so moving and she connects with it, neyo just sings it.

  95. x.... ....
