[Verse 1]
What does it matter, if rain comes your way?
And raindrops patter all day
The rain descending should not make you blue
The happy ending is waiting for you

[Chorus]
Take your share of trouble, face it and don't complain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain
Happiness comes double after a little pain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

[Verse 2]
What if your love affair should break up
As they sometimes will
When you kiss and make up
Ooh, oh boy what a thrill!

[Refrain]
Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

[Chorus]
Take your share of trouble, face it and don't complain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain
Happiness comes double after a little pain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain
[Verse 3]
What if your love affair should break up
As they sometimes will
When you kiss and make up
Ooh, what a thrill!

[Refrain]
Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain
