Temptations Forever
The Temptations are one of Motown's greatest by far. They recorded hits such as "My Girl", "The Way You Do the Things You Do", I Wish it Would Rain", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", and many, many more. Like every other group, they had their problems for different purposes which resulted in group member changes. My favorite line-up of the Temptations were the Classic 5: David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams, Paul Williams, and Melvin Franklin. Although I love all the Temptations, this site celebrates the life and work of my favorite Temptation: David Ruffin. |

My Girl
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (My girl)
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
Talkin' bout, talkin' bout my girl

I Wish It Would Rain
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her with my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside (such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' is such a pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside words can never explain
I just wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Rain, rain, rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
(instrumental)
Day in, day out, my tear-stained face is pressed against
the window pane
I search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm cryin', cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside, my tears I refuse to explain
Oh, I wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain, let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes...
