Well, that old rain is pourin′ and soakin' up the ground
I′ve been feelin' awful low, that woman's got me down
Thunder is a-rumblin′ as the lightnin′ fills the sky
I'm just sittin′ here all alone wonderin' why

Why does an old heartbreak have to feel this way?
Why does an old black cloud ruin a perfect day?
It′s rainin' in my heart just like it is up in the sky
I′m just sittin' here all alone wonderin' why

She told me she was leavin′, I just can′t recall
Whatever set her off so bad that she stormed down the hall
Next thing I seen was her taillights racin' down the drive
And I′m just sittin' here on the porch wonderin′ why

Why does an old heartbreak have to feel this way?
Why does an old black cloud ruin a perfect day?
It's rainin′ in my heart just like it is up in the sky
I'm just sittin' here all alone wonderin′ why

Thoughts are spinnin′ in my head like clouds up in the sky
Memories hit harder than a river rushin' by
Well, she swore that she′d love me
but her heart's just black as night
I′m just sittin' here all alone wonderin′ why

Why does an old heartbreak have to feel this way?
Why does an old black cloud ruin a perfect day?
It's rainin' in my heart just like it is up in the sky
I′m just sittin′ here all alone wonderin' why

Why did that woman go and break my heart in two
Leave me with an empty house and a head full of blues?
It′s rainin' in my heart just like it is up in the sky
I′m just sittin' here all alone wonderin′ why
Yeah, I'm just sittin' here all alone wonderin′ why
