Love Rain Lyrics

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me

Met him on a thursday, sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown, deep
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives (Word?)
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
Talked about Moses and Mumia
Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell topped Adidas

He was fresh, like summer peaches
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm
At night we would watch the stars
And he would physically give me each and every one
I felt like cayenne pepper,red,hot,spicy
I felt dizzy and so near the heavens and miles between my thighs
Better than love, we made delicious
He me had, had me he
He had me tongue tied
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
I was his sharp, his horn section
His boom and his bip
And he was my love

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me

The rain was fallin and,and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open,wide,loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Now me non-clairvoyant and in love
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible

The rain was falling
And I couldn't see the season changing
And the vibe slipping off its axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The rain was falling and I could not see
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me

Wide open wide loose
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new, me non clairvoyant and in love me,
Me the fool
You were never true
If you didn’t want me ah you should have let me know
All you was make a mockery of something so incredible and beautiful
I honestly in love

Love rain, down on me, on me, down on me (til end)

Another really great song about a one night stand. It's worded so well and sung so amazingly but that's what I get from it.

I totally agree. I actually didn't get that it was a one night stand until I finally read the lyrics here lol. I always presumed it was about a relationship instead (Damn, Jill fell in love quick! lol). But yes, her wording here is some of the best she's done.

This song is about her meeting up with a guy and they find romance.They slowly build a relationship and then one day they have sex. After sex she realize thats all he wanted. and she recounts that having sex was a mistake and that how sad she is because she really did love him.
