james carr'ın 1967 tarihli you got my mind messed up adlı albümünden şahane bir şarkı. artık böyle şarkılar yapılmadığı gibi kimse böyle şarkı da söylemiyor sanki.

these ain't raindrops in my eyes
just look at me, now
i've been cryin' because i love you
i wonder why can't you see
just one kiss would do so much
it would drive away all my fears
these ain't raindrops in my eyes, lord
they are tears
oh, now, oh
oh right now
these ain't raindrops in my eyes, baby
that i wipe away
if you tell me you love me
everything will be okay, now
if i thought that you'll ever love me
i would wait, i would wait a million years
these ain't raindrops in my eyes, lord
these ain't raindrops in my eyes, lord
they are tears
oh, now, oh
ain't no cryin' 'cause i've been to heaven
so how can there be rain?
the man up there, he knows just how i feel, now, oh
how will i face tomorrow
and all the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely years?
these ain't raindrops in my eyes, baby
these ain't raindrops in my eyes, lord
don't make me cry no more baby
don't make me shed no more tears right now
darling i really love you, oh baby
don't make me cry
