Flood Lyrics

So cloudy, so cloudy, I believe this gonna rain
So cloudy, so cloudy, I believe it's goin' to rain
I don't believe my woman love me
She love with another man

Got look at the weather, I believe it's goin' to be a flood
Got look at the weather, I believe it's goin' to be a flood
I believe my baby gonna quit me
Because I can feel it all in my blood

Oh, stop and listen, don't you hear how the thunder roars
Oh, stop and listen, don't you hear how the thunder roars
I'm so blue and lonesome
Don't you hear how the wind is blowin'

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
