"Rainy Jane" is a song written and originally recorded by Neil Sedaka in 1969, covered two years later by Davy Jones. Sedaka's rendition became a minor hit in the U. S., Canada and Australia.
With a cloud above her head here comes rainy Jane. If she stops you, man, she'll bore you with that sad refrain. It's the same old story. We've heard a thousand times before. She'll tell you how he broke her heart and then the tears will start to pour. Hey, rainy Jane, you gotta stop your crying sometime. Come on rainy Jane, it's up to you to make your own sweet sunshine. Jane, you're just a shadow of the girl you used to be. Once you used to live for life and now you live for sympathy. True, your heart's been broken and you got the right to cry, but if you're gonna keep it up the sunshine's gonna pass you by. Hey, rainy Jane, you gotta stop your crying sometime. Come on rainy Jane, it's up to you to make your own sweet sunshine. You can change the weather, no one loves a rainy day. Come let's get together, clouds will clear up when you cheer up, take each raindrop, make the rain stop. Hey, rainy Jane, you gotta stop your crying sometime. Come on rainy Jane, it's up to you to make your own sweet sunshine.
