Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can''t stand the rain ''gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Ican''t stand the rain ''gainst my window
''Cause he''s not here with me
Hey window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand, yes it was
Now that we''ve parted
There''s one sound that I just can''t stand...
Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you''ve got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain''t got nothin'' to say
I can''t stand the rain ''gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories, hey
I can''t stand the rain, ooh
''Gainst my window, oh no no
''Cause he''s not here with me, uh
Alone with the pillow uh uh
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you''ve got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain''t got nothin'' to say, hey hey
Uh, uh, I can''t stand the rain...
(I can''t I can''t I can''t can''t stand the rain)...
Baby, uh, uh, uh, hey hey
Ooh, ooh, uh, uh, hey
Don''t you know, ''t you think...
No no ooh oooohh hey hey hey hey hey, no
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
Oohh !... Get off my window...
(I can''t I can''t I can''t can''t stand the rain)...
Get off my window now, get off my window




Get off my window nah, I can''t stand the rain
I can''t stand the rain, ooh, can''t stand the rain, oh

My all time favorite dance song. To me it's flawless. A huge hit in the clubs then finally hit the US top 40 in June. A summer full of memories starting with the music.
