Walking In The Rain
Cheryl Ladd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want him, and I need him,
And someday someway woo I'll meet him
He'll be kind of shy, and real good lookin' too
And I'll be certain he's my guy by the things he'll like to do

Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

When he's near me, I'll kiss him,
And when he leaves me woo I'll miss him
Though sometimes we'll fight, I won't really care
And I'll know it's gonna be alright 'cause we've got so much we share

Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

(Johnny) no no he'll never do
(Bobby) no it isn't him too
They would never no they'd never never ever ever love
Walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love





Oh oh oh where can he be oh oh

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of Cheryl Ladd's song "Walking in the Rain" expresses the singer's desire to find a man she both wants and needs. She believes that she'll meet him someday but has a specific image of him as being both shy and good looking. The singer is aware that she will recognize her ideal man by the things they will enjoy doing together. The singer mentions walking in the rain, wishing on the stars, and being in love as activities the two will enjoy together. In this stanza, the singer appears to be optimistic and excited about finding love.


In the second stanza, the singer even more explicitly, outlines what will happen once she has found her ideal man. When he is near her, she plans to kiss him, and when he leaves her, she will still miss him regardless of a fight. Essentially, the singer hopes that the relationship will be bigger than any disagreements they may encounter. She feels secure that they will overcome any issues they face because of the immense love they will share. The chorus repeats and emphasizes the singer's ideal activities with her perfect man. Finally, the "Johnny" and "Bobby" mentioned are presented as people who don't fit the image she has of her ideal man.

Oh oh oh where can he be oh oh
I continue to wonder where this perfect partner of mine could be,
