The rain was fallin' Slowly and sweetly And stinging my eyes And I could not see that ( Uh huh, uh huh) He became my voodoo priest And I, his faithful concubine ( Uh huh, uh huh) Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens The mistake was made Love slipped from my lips ( Uh huh, uh huh) Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap And us became brand new ( New Jill Scott, everybody, c'mon!) Now me non-clarivoyant and in love Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible The rain was falling And I couldn't see the season changing And the vibe slipping off its axis Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato (Repeat 1 in background) The rain was falling and I could not see That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized And left to drown in his sunny afternoon Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody Love Rain Down Love Rain Down Love Rain Down Love Rain Down

( A-rain down) ( I said, 'What'cha see?') ( I see love) ( A-love rain) ( A-rain down) ( I say, 'What'cha see?') ( I see love) ( A-love rain) ( A-rain down) ( I say, 'What'cha see?') ( I see love) ( A-love rain) ( A-rain down) ( I say, 'What'cha see?') ( Hah-hah) Met him on a Thursday ( Uh huh, uh huh), sunny afternoon Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees He was brown( Uh huh, uh huh) Said he wanted to talk about my mission Listen to my past lives Word! ( Uh huh, uh huh) Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy Talked about Moses and Mumia ( Uh huh, uh huh) Reparations through colors, memories of shell-tops Oh, yeah, yeah, he was fresh, like summer peaches Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy ( -for the churro, two for the-) ( Uh huh, uh huh) I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy I felt dizzy and so near heaven Love Rain Down Love Rain Down Love Rain Down Love Rain Down ( Love rain) ( A-rain down) ( I said, 'What'cha see?') ( I see love) ( A-love rain) ( A-rain down) ( I said, 'What'cha see?') ( I see love) ( A-love rain) ( A-rain down) ( I say, 'What'cha see?') ( Brand new, alive, from Jill Scott, makin' the ghetto feel hot) ( I say, 'What'cha see?') ( A-let 'em know)

There was this daddy long-leg spider who spun his lyrics between the trees And she was the fly girl who didn't see the web, and this is the story, ha Love Rain Down Love Rain Down Love Rain Down Love Rain Down
