Beauty In A Thunderstorm (Reprint)

If you've got something to say to me
you need to say it...
I'm not one for playin games
so whatever it is ,you should just say it to me..
We are standing here in the rain
drawing conclusions...
but the truth of the matter is that for me
there is no more confusion.../

cause honey I have no secrets
that you don't already know..
at this point what can either of us hide?
and I'm just so damn tired of all of the games
we both are forced to play...
and I'm gettin wet...
maybe it's time we both went inside.../

 Like you,
I'm married to the game...
but , you know, I shouldn't be here...
I know that you don't feel the same..
and similar feelings neither of us hold dear..
If you were lookin for something more...
There's nothing left to get..
You've always been the one with the umbrella
and before...
I was always the one gettin wet.../

but baby, I have no secrets
that you don't already know..
at this point what do either of us have to hide?
and I'm so damn tired of all of this game playing
there is beauty in a thunderstorm...
but I'd feel much better if I were inside....

away from you.....
away from you....../

 You knew me when game was my middle name..
I knew you when you were just the same...
but I've moved on
to the next phase, can't you see...
But whether you can or not...
I guess it's time for me to let you be..../

There is beauty in a thunderstorm baby..
but I'd rather be dry and warm...
inside...
I'd rather not be a party to all of your drama
and games...

I thought by now you'd feel the same..../

Because I do.....
I do.....
Because I do.....
baby!/

 If you've got something to say to me
you need to say it...
I'm not one for playin games
so whatever it is ,you should just say it to me..
We are standing here in the rain
drawing conclusions...
but the truth of the matter is that for me
there is no more confusion.../

cause honey I have no secrets

and I'm just so damn tired of all of the games
we both are forced to play...
and I'm gettin wet...
