WHEN IT'S RAININ'

about

Nick wrote this tune in the early 2000's and introduced it to Wayde. Wayde thought it was a great tune and it quickly became a standard during their live gigs, along with the song Jaydena. This song and Jaydena both made it onto their CD single. Mark took the helm at lead vocal. Wayde did the first guitar solo, while Jay brought it home with his smokin' guitar lead near the end.

lyrics

LYIN’ HERE, LATE AT NIGHT,
SOMEHOW IT JUST DON’T SEEM RIGHT.
I’M ALONE, BY MYSELF,
WHILE YOU’RE OUT MESSIN’ WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

NOW BABY, AIN’T NO USE IN COMPLAININ’,
CAUSE YOU’RE THE KIND OF GIRL WHO LIKES TO GO OUT
WHEN IT’S RAININ’.

RUNNIN’ ‘ROUND IN THE STREETS,
HANGIN’ OFF HIM LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT.
YOU’RE BOTH FEELIN’ PRETTY COOL,
WHILE YOU LEAVE ME LOOKIN’ JUST LIKE A FOOL,

NOW BABY, AIN’T NO USE IN COMPLAININ’, NO,
CAUSE YOU’RE THE KIND OF GIRL WHO LIKES TO GO OUT
WHEN IT’S RAININ’. OH!

LIGHTIN’ FIRES IN THE SAND,
MY WOMAN, ANOTHER MAN.
YOU’RE OUT CHEATIN’ ON ME GIRL.
THAT’S WHY I’M LIVIN’ IN A—ANOTHER WORLD,

NOW BABY, AIN’T NO USE IN COMPLAININ’. NO, NO, NO!
CAUSE I’M ANOTHER ONE WHO LIKES TO GO OUT
WHEN IT’S RAININ’. OH!

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
