It keep rainin' an' rainin'
Ohh tears from my eyes
Since you've gone
All I do is cry

Won't somebody help me?
Somebody help me
Ohh can't you see?
That my baby done left me

She left me reelin' and rockin'
Mmm walkin' the floor
She left a note last night
She won't be back no more, no more

Ohh won't somebody help me?
Mmm somebody help me
Ohh can't you see?
That my baby done left me

She left me reelin' and rockin'
Mmm walkin' the floor
She left a note last night
I said she won't be back
She won't be back
She won't she won't

Keep rainin' an' rainin'
Tears from my eyes
Since you gone
All I do is cry and cry and cry and cry yeah yeah
Keep on rainin'




Mmm-mmmmm
Oh oh yeah yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "It Keeps Rainin' in" by Robert Plant with Lil' Band O' Gold is a heart-wrenching song about a man who is lost and alone after his lover has abandoned him. He cries tears of sorrow and is desperate for someone to help him through his pain. The rain is used as a metaphor for his tears, and it continues to pour down on him, mirroring the endless amount of tears he has shed.


The singer's pain is evident in the lyrics, especially when he says, "She left me reelin' and rockin', walking the floor." He is in immense agony, and he cannot shake the memory of his lover. Even though she left him a note saying she wouldn't be back, he still clings to the hope that she will return. However, the rain keeps coming, and nothing seems to change.


The repetition of the line "Oh won't somebody help me?" emphasizes the singer's sense of despair and loneliness. He is reaching out for anyone to help him bear his pain. The song's slow tempo and haunting melody add to the melancholy tone of the lyrics, making it a heartbreaking but beautiful piece of music.
