#1 Like a raging flood that ruins a poor man's land You keep doing things to hurt me all you can But the thickness that we knew is growing thin How much r-a-i-n can one man stand (one man stand) Chorus *Note, words in parenthesize are 'backup' singer parts! How much rain (how much rain) can one man stand (one man stand) I gave you everything but my right hand If you won't let me love you then don't let me be your friend How much r-a-i-n can one man stand (one man stand) #2 I can see them big old storm clouds movin' in There's a stranger in your big brown eyes again And you've told him that I'm just an old time friend How much r-a-i-n can one man stand (one man stand) Chorus *Note, words in parenthesize are 'backup' singer parts! How much rain (how much rain) can one man stand (one man stand) I gave you everything but my right hand Well if you won't let me love you then don't let me be your friend How much r-a-i-n can one man stand (one man stand) How much r-a-i-n can one man stand End
