Lyrics
I’m no stranger to the rainI’m a friend of thunderFriend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me?I’ve fought with the devilGot down on his levelBut I never gave in, so he gave up on me
I’m no stranger to the rainI’m a friend of thunderFriend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me?But I’ll put this cloud behind meThat’s how the man designed meTo ride the wind and dance in a hurricaneI’m no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I’m no stranger to the rain
