Harry Chapin - It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains Lyrics
Just after I screamed at you--What the hell is it all aboutYou spilled your coffeeOnto my sleeveAnd you saidDon't expect the tearsTo come from me babeFor I've already grievedBut that's when you let meBack into your dreamAnd I know you're frightenedBy my laughterBut you're not afraidTo hold my painYou see I'm never sureJust what you're after, BabeBut it seems you only love meWhen it rainsYou never treat meLike you treat a gentle manYou only hit meWhen you know it hurtsBut then why bother reaching downTo where I'm batteredTo raise me up>From the dirtBut that's when you let meBack into your dreamAnd I know you're frightenedBy my laughterBut you're not afraidTo hold my painYou see I'm never sureJust what you're after, BabeBut it seems you only love meWhen it rainsYes I have swornTo myself to stay protectedSo I have strapped onA sword and shieldBut my armourYes it ends up meltin'When you come along tumblin'Across the fieldOnce again I yield, I yieldYes you get me crazy'Cause you never even wear my presents babeYou wear flowers tucked into your hairBut when I'm cursin' in the nightIn my frustrationThat's when suddenly you are thereOnce again that's when you let meBack into your dreamAnd I know you're frightenedBy my laughterBut you're not afraidTo hold my painYou see I'm never sureJust what you're after, BabeBut it seems you only love meWhen it
