I'm no stranger to the rain
 I'm a friend of thunder
 Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
 I've fought with the devil
 Got down on his level
 But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

 I'm no stranger to the rain
 I can spot bad weather
 And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
 I've been sacrificed by brothers
 [bad word] by lovers
 But through it all I withstood the pain
 I'm no stranger to the rain

 But when I get that foggy feeling
 When I'm feeling down
 If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
 But it's hard to keep believing
 I'll [bad word] out even
 While the rain beats your hope in the ground
 And tonight it's [bad word] down

 I'm no stranger to the rain
 But there'll always be tomorrow
 And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
 And I'll put this cloud behind me
 That's how the Man designed me
 To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
 I'm no stranger to the rain

 Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

 I'm no stranger to the rain
 I'm a friend of thunder
 Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
 But I'll put this cloud behind me
 That's how the Man designed me
 To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
 I'm no stranger to the rain

 Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
