I met a woman from far away We talked for hours And she asked me to stay Talk turned to kisses Then she took my hand Asking a question I did not understand She said, "Do you like the rain?" I asked her to explain Then she showed me I could not belive The sound of the rain On tapes that you play In the stereo With the lights down low It's California Rain I woke up at midnight And to my surprise The thunder and lightning That I heard was a lie Now I'm back in Moscow With real rain instead I still can't forget her Or the night that she said Do you like the rain? It's driving me insane When I think back Just what did we have? The sound of the rain Is all that remains in my memory What should I believe? California Rain, California rain Was it real or a game? California Rain, California Rain Or is our love the same As California Rain To fake the rain zone again But don't treat me the same way Do you like the rain? It's driving me insane When I think back Just what did we have? The sound of the rain Is all that remains in my memory What should I believe? California Rain, California rain Was it real or a game? California Rain. California Rain, California Rain Or is our love the same As California Rain
