I'll put you in mother's locket
Drag you 'round in my back pocket
Carry you with me every day
I'm gonna build you a garden
Somewhere to put your heart in
Then all we gotta do is pray for rain
Pray for rain, pray for rain
And hope it don't go down the drain
Won't be no more raisin' Cain
If we both pray for rain
♪
Four years in I still want more
I ain't walkin' out the door
I'm a hopin' fool that you feel the same
We've been workin' nine to five
Done our best to stay alive
Now all we gotta do is pray for rain
Pray for rain, pray for rain
And hope it don't go down the drain
Won't be no more raisin' Cain
If we both pray for rain
♪
If I'm out on my long haul
And I call you and you start ballin'
Ain't no use frettin' this old way
If I told you once, I told you twice
I'ma be your ever-lovin' man for life
And all we gotta do is pray for rain
Pray for rain, pray for rain
And hope it don't go down the drain
Won't be no more raisin' Cain
If we both pray for rain
Pray for rain, pray for rain
And hope it don't go down the drain
Won't be no more raisin' Cain
If we both pray for rain
