It used to be they’d be together
All around town;
Down at the beach or out on the sound
Now she’s broken hearted, he’s no longer around.
Please don’t ask her to explain,
Instead she tells it to the rain.
He used to tell his friends
He was sure she’s the one,
for no one was more beautiful
or could be more fun.
But she won’t wear his ring,
Now that Love's come undone.
Please don’t ask him to explain
Instead he tells it to the rain.
Their breakup causes problems
Beyond their private pain;
When friends start choosing sides
things just won’t be the same.
I heard that she got jealous of
Some girl named Lorraine-
But please don’t ask them to explain-
Just let them tell it to the rain.

Intended as a pop song in the spirit of the 1950's Carole King song for the Everly Brothers called "Crying in the rain". Not to the same tune and not intended as a parody.
