Can You Stand the Rain (Under the Lamppost / Quiet Storm Mix)
[Verse 1: Johnny Gill]
On a perfect day, I know that I can count on you
When that's not possible
Tell me can you weather a storm?

[Pre-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and bad times
She would always, always be right there

[Chorus: New Edition]
Sunny days, everybody loves them
Tell me, baby, can you stand the rain?
Storms will come
This we know for sure (This we know for sure)
Can you stand the rain?

[Verse 2: Johnny Gill]
Love unconditional, I'm not asking just of you
And girl, to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done

[Pre-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant]
But I need somebody who will stand by me
When it's tough, she won't run
She will always, be right there for me
[Chorus: New Edition | Ricky Bell | Ralph Tresvant]
Sunny days, everybody loves them
Tell me, baby, can you stand the rain?
(Can you stand it? Oh oh)
Storms will come
(I know, I know all the days won't be perfect)
This we know for sure
(But tell me can you stand it)
Can you stand the rain?
(Can you stand the rain?)
Can you stand the rain
(Can you stand the rain?)
Can you stand the rain
(No pressure, no pressure from me, baby)
This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
('Cause I want you, and I need you, and I love you, girl)
(Tell me, baby)
Can you stand the rain
(Will you be there for me?)
This we know for sure

[Interlude: Michael Bivins]
Come on, baby, let's go get wet

[Chorus: New Edition | Ralph Tresvant]
Can you stand the rain
(Can you stand the rain?) This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
(Will you be there, girl?) This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
(Storms will come for sure) This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
(Can you stand the rain?) This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
This we know for sure
[Outro: Ralph Tresvant | Johnny Gill]
The storms will come
[Harmonizing]
But I know, I know I'll be right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
