Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh...
Down, down, down, yeah
Oh, oh, oh...

It's been a long time
Since I wandered 'round in the falling rain
For the drops tend to symbolize
Of how I went through life of love and pain

And you were the hurricane
That thunder-stormed all through my soul
Still I refute the past
Of how our love was worth more than gold

Though I tried to forget
The rainfall takes me back to you
And the downpour of my thoughts is only you
Oh, it's only you

Still I feel the raindrops
Falling from the sky
Falling, they're falling down
Now the raindrops, ooh-ooh-ooh...
Are falling from my eyes

And soon the falling rain
Sprinkles now have turned
Into falling, falling hail
Oh, well, where could I have failed
I have failed

Though I tried to forget
The rainfall takes me back to you
And the downpour of my thoughts is only you
Oh, it's only you

Still I feel the raindrops
Falling from the sky
Falling, falling down
Now the raindrops
The raindrops keep falling down
Are falling from my eyes
Baby, babe, baby, I can't stand the rain

Still I feel the raindrops
On my window
Falling from the sky
And I feel so good
With you beside me, baby
Now the raindrops
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Are falling from my eyes
Baby, can't stop the crying eyes

Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh-oh-oh...
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh...

Feel the raindrops
Falling from the sky
They are falling from the sky
Now the raindrops
Are falling from my eyes

Still I feel the raindrops
Hey-hey, yeah
Falling from the sky
Falling, falling, falling down
Now the raindrops
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Are falling from my eyes...

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
