LINTON KWESI JOHNSON LORAINE LYRICS

Whenever it rains I think of you

And I always remember that day in may

When I saw you walking in the rain

I know not what it was nor why

For ususally I'm quite shy

I ax'd your name, you smile and said "Lorraine"

I ax'd if I could share your umbrella

You smiled and said "what a cheeky little fella"

Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine

Hoping to see you again

Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine

A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine

You're drivin' me insane

Whenever it rains I think of you

And I always remember that day in may

When I saw you walking in the rain

I know not what it was nor why

For ususally I'm quite shy

but from the moment I saw you

I knew, that I needed you in my life

from that moment on I knew

that I wanted you for my wife

Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine

Hoping to see you again

Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine

A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine

You're drivin' me insane

Whenever it rains I think of you

And I always remember that day in may

When I saw you walking in the rain

I know not what it was nor why

For ususally I'm quite shy

I said " let's go back to my place for some coffee"

You frown and said "well, kiss me batty"

I fell so ashamed, I did not even notice

When your bus came, and went again

Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine

Hoping to see you again

Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine

A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine

You're drivin' me insane, Loraine, Loraine, Loraine
