Raining In My Heart
Ford Robben Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

That you felt the same as I
I thought when I met you baby
That you felt the same as I
Now I'm so mixed up inside me
I feel like I wanna cry

If you would treat me kindly baby
I would always be in love with you
If you would treat me kindly baby
I would always be in love with you

But if you treat me meanly
You make me do the things I don't wanna do
