Chuva! Chuvinha! Vem, vem, vem ca, rapaz!
Chuva! Chuvinha! Vem, vem ca, rapaz!
This is not political it's just that I
Demand attention when I walk into a room
And it's not that I can't play ball hard it's just that I don't want to
And the more I think about this pressure love I don't want you
And I can't have you and that's what hurts the most
I cannot show you these things I boast
I'll throw my heart out, keep my head up, I cannot fuck up 'cause
I, I got what you need boy (Baby, I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah
I promise that
I, I got what you need boy (Baby, I do)
But I will only bring on the rain
So, I'll prefer to run this road rough around the edges
Good for something but too good to give it to you
You run your own course at your own pace but I just got impatient
See, I wanted to explore
Forsake you, forsook you, abate you, dissipate you
So turn fate around, I believed that I was free of you not
I still believe in those days on benches at sunset or the waves in July
Or was it March?
We weathered weathers and storms real and imagined, such fragile tenderness
You are truly blessed
I stress this as I blow you this kiss
As I blow it in the wind, mwah
I, I got what you need boy (Baby, I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah
I promise that
I, I got what you need boy (Baby, I do)
But I will only bring on the rain
Chuva! Chuvinha! Vem, vem, vem ca, rapaz!
Gonna make you cry so damn hard
You're gonna curse your drawers
And wish you weren't a boy
Gonna make you cry so damn hard
You're gonna curse your drawers
And wish you weren't a boy, yeah
I will make you cry
I will make you cry
Boohoo
They say time is made of memories
Well, I remembered and I'm tired
This is not political
It's just that I remember the fire
Babe, you left me with my head held high
And I feigned to be more than I was, didn't I
I thought I could do without sugar love
But this chocolate has turned into sweet bubble gum
Candy is sweet but honey is sweeter
It tastes like the real thing but candy is much, much cheaper (Cheaper)
I, I got what you need boy (Baby, I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah
I promise that
I, I got what you need boy (Baby, I do)
But I will only bring on the rain
(Rain falling down, rain falling down, hahahaha)
Time crying
You'll be crying
I'm sorry I made you cry
I didn't mean to
Let me wipe those tears away
Wipe those tears away
Don't cry
Baby, it's only rain
