The Rain
Oran "Juice" Jones Lyrics

I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain
I observed you walking in the rain along with two other people.

You were holding hands and I'll never be the same
You were holding hands with those people and it had a profound impact on me.

Tossing and turning another sleepless night
I spent the whole night uneasy and restless in bed.

The rain crashes against my window pane
The sound of the rain hitting the window was making me uncomfortable.

Jumped into my car--didn't drive too far
I impulsively got into my car and drove off without going too far.

That moment I knew I would never be the same
It was then that I realized that my life has changed forever.

Now here you are begging to me
You have come to me to plead for our relationship.

To give our love another try
You are asking me to give our love a second chance.

Girl I love you and I always will
I have loved you and will continue to do so.

But darling right now I've got to say goodbye
I have to end our relationship at this moment.

Hey, hey, baby, how you doin', come on in here
Hello, welcome in, have a seat.

Got some hot chocolate on the stove waitin' for ya
I have made some hot chocolate for you that's ready.

Listen, first things first, let me hang up that coat
Before anything, let me get your coat hung up.

Yeah, 'n' how's your day today, did ya miss me?
How has your day gone? Did you miss my presence?

Oh, you did, yeah, I missed you, too
You missed me too? That's good to hear.

I missed you so much I followed you today
I missed you to the extent that I followed you today.

That's right
Correct.

Now close your mouth
Please stop talking and listen.

Cause you cold busted
Because I caught you red-handed.

That's right, now sit down here
Sit down here and listen.

So upset with you, I don't know what to do
I am so upset that I am confused about what to do.

'n' my first impulse was to run up on you
My initial thought was to confront you right away.

And do a Rambo
I wanted to act violently and recklessly like Rambo.

Whip out the jammy and flat-blast both of you
Use my gun to shoot both of you.

But I ain't wanna mess up this thirty-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
I didn't want to ruin my expensive coat.

So instead, I chilled
I calmed myself down and relaxed.

Took out every dime
I withdrew all my money from the bank.

And then I went and canceled all those credit cards
I cancelled all our shared credit cards.

Yeah
Yes.

All your charge accounts
I also cancelled all your accounts.

I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought you
I took back every piece of jewelry I ever gifted you.

That's right, everything
Absolutely everything.

Did fool out with me
Did you really think you could deceive me?

Naw, don't go, you ever go, don't go looking in that closet
Don't leave yet, and if you do go, don't go to that closet.

Cause you ain't got nothing in there
There is nothing for you there.

Everything you came here with--
Every possession you had is ready for you to take.

Is packed up and waiting for you in the guest room
All your things are packed up in the guest room waiting for you.

That's right, what was you thinking about, huh?
What were you thinking about, exactly?

What were you trying to prove, huh?
What did you expect to accomplish?

You's with the Juice
You are/were with me, the 'Juice'.

'n' I gave you silk suits, Gucci handbags, blue diamonds
I gave you valuable gifts like silk suits, designer handbags, and rare diamonds.

I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce
I gave you things for which you didn't know the name or value.

Now I can't give you nothing' but advice
It is too late for me to give you anything other than advice.

Cause you're still young
You are still young and inexperienced.

That's right, you're still young
Youthful incompetence is the reason for this situation.

I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this
May you gain knowledge from this experience.

You know?
Do you understand?

Gonna find someone like me one of these days
You will eventually meet someone like me.

Until then, know what you gotta do?
Until that time, you know what you have to do?

You gotta get on outta here with that
You have to get out of here with that person,

Alley-cat-coat-wearin'
Who wears a cheap, trendy coat.

Hush-puppy-shoe-wearing'
Who wears basic, boring shoes.

Crumb cake I saw you with
The person who was with you is inadequate and a follower.

Cause you dismissed
You have been rejected/slighted.

That's right, silly rabbit
Like the character in the cereal commercial, you are foolish.

Tricks are made for kids, don't you know that?
Playing games is for children, don't you realize that?

You without me: like cornflake without the milk
You are incomplete without me, like a bowl of cereal without milk.

It's my world--you just a squirrel, tryin' to get a nut
This is my world and you are nothing but a small, insignificant creature trying to compete for resources.

Now get on outta here
Leave now.

Ah!
An exclamation of disgust or annoyance.

Don't touch that coat!
Do not touch my coat!
