Mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
Mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
[VERSE 1:]
I'm lookin' in the mirror
At this woman down and out
She's internally dyin'
I know this was not what love's about
I don't wanna be this woman
The second time around
'Cause I'm wakin' up screamin', no longer believin'
That I'm gonna be around
[PRE-HOOK:]
And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
over and over I cried, yeah
I don't know why
And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
over and over I cried, yeah
I don't know why
[CHORUS:]
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
Baby, just rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, tell ya just
[VERSE 2:]
See, I don't want to hug my pillow late at night no more
I'm tossin' and turnin' and thinkin' 'bout burnin' down these walls
I-I don't wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no more
See, I made up my mind 'cause I've wasted my time
Ain't nothin' here to keep me warm
[PRE-HOOK X2]
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE:]
I'm so tired of the rain
In my life
And I'm so tired of the strain
And now you're gonna lie
'Cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
This here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by
'Cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
This here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by
[CHORUS]

"Rain on Me" is a song recorded by R&B singer Ashanti. The record contains a sample of "The Look of Love" by Isaac Hayes. A commercial success, it reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and the top 20 in the United Kingdom.
In 2004, the song earned Ashanti a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The song's music video was released on August 28, 2003, and features Ashanti playing a superstar abused by a jealous boyfriend, played by actor Larenz Tate. The rap remix found on the Collectibles by Ashanti album interpolates "Can I Live" by rapper Jay-Z, which also samples the same Hayes song (and also produced by Irv Gotti). The remix also features Hussein Fatal and fellow The Inc. Records labelmates Charli "Chuck" Baltimore and Ja Rule.
Ashanti's lyrics for "Rain on Me" address the pains and challenges of facing, and eventually overcoming, an abusive relationship. Wanting to make a cinematic and narrative-driven video for the song, she worked with LidRock and director Hype Williams to produce the clip. Ashanti explained: "We wanted to make a short movie that was 'real' — that showed that no matter if you're rich or poor, black or white, famous or not, domestic violence can touch your life."
Ashanti partnered with LidRock and the San Francisco-based Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) to raise awareness of domestic violence during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to help distribute the mini-movie, which was also shown on MTV, BET, and other music video programs. Proceeds from sales of the LidRock discs were put toward the FVPF.
