I Wish
The Rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trying to find a moment
When you don't cross my mind
Running out of patience
When you don't hit my line
I just want your time
Don't wanna press rewind
Don't wanna waste my time
And I wish
That you would take the time
To take me serious
Cause time don't wait
I will never trip up on the things you say
I'm not okay
I know you need your space
As long as you don't need a break
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish I never put my pride before ya
Everything you say you know I do for ya
I will let you know that you got my heart for sure
Don't wanna wait no more
So tell me
It it unthinkable, you give me a feeling oh
I been running round for so long
And I wish
That you would take the time
To take me serious
Cause time don't wait
I will never trip up on the things you say
I'm not okay
I know you need your space
As long as you don't need a break




I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

The story behind this song is very tragic. It touches my heart, though. The lyrics to this song were written by a talented young Motown lyricist named Rodger Penzabene. He also wrote lyrics for Gladys Knight & the Pips and Marvin Gaye, as well as the Temptations. While working on this album, Rodger found out his wife was cheating on him with another man. Rodger was in a bad place. he couldn't stand the pain, but he couldn't stop loving his wife either. He literally poured his heart, soul, and pain into this song. It was released on December 21, 1967 and went on to become one of The Temptations greatest hits but Rodger never saw that. At 23, Rodger Penzabene took his own life on New Years Eve, 1967. He never got to see that so many people could relate to his pain and heart ache. Rest easy, Rodger, some of us remember you.
