[Intro]
"Can You Stand the Rain"

[Verse 1: Nathan]
On a perfect day
I know that I can count on you
When that's not possible
Tell me, can you weather the storm

[Pre-Chorus: Shawn]
'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and bad times
She will always, always be right there

[Chorus]
Sunny days, everybody loves them
Tell me
Can you stand the rain
Storms will come
This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain

[Verse 2: Nathan]
Your love unconditional
I'm not asking this of you
And girl, to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done

[Pre-Chorus: Shawn]
'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
When it's tough she won't run
She will always, be right there for me

[Chorus]
Sunny days, everybody loves them
Tell me
Can you stand the rain
Storms will come
This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
