[Intro]
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
I don't wanna cry, I don't wanna cry
I'm goin' out in the rain, yes

[Verse 1]
I wanna go outside in the rain
It may sound crazy
But I wanna go outside (Go outside) in the rain
Now I, I think I'm gonna cry (Cry-y-y)
Now I, I don't want you to see me cry

[Chorus]
(I wanna go) Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh... (Outside in the rain) the rain
It may sound crazy, I said it may sound crazy
But I, I wanna go outside in the rain
Hoo...hoo...

[Verse 2]
Once the rain stops fallin' (Stops fallin')
On my face (On my face)
Then I won't see (Then I won't see, ah)
A single trace (Single trace)
Right now I think I'm cryin' (I'm cryin')
Because of you I'm cryin' (Because of you)
Don't want you to see me cry
Let me go, let me go, let me go

[Chorus]
(I wanna go outside) I wanna go outside in the rain (In the rain)
It may sound crazy
But I, I wanna go outside in the rain
Mmm...

[Verse 3]
Once the sun come up
And the rain is gone away
Then I'm gonna see
A better day (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But right now I think I'm cryin' (I'm cryin')
Because of you I'm cryin' (Because of you)
Don't want you to see me cry
Let me go, let me go, let me go

[Chorus]
(I wanna go outside) I wanna go outside in the rain (In the rain)
I gotta walk out the door, I can't stand it no more, baby
(I wanna go outside) Whoa, in the rain (In the rain), yeah, yeah
I wanna go outside (Go outside)
Baby, baby (In the rain), the rain will wipe my tears
Whoa, whoa, I wanna go outside (I wanna go outside)
I've got to go, nowhere to go (In the rain) in the rain, yeah
What else, what else can I do (I wanna go outside)
Ooh...in the rain (In the rain), yeah, yeah
I'm just a man with a broken heart
(I wanna go outside) Let me go, let me go, whoa...ho...ho...ho... (In the rain)
I wanna go out in the rain

Keith Sweat

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
