Tell It To The Rain
Expressing Heartbreak in Rain: Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
You're crying now just like I used to cry before.(rain, rain, rain)
The person is experiencing sadness similar to how the speaker used to feel in the past, symbolized by crying like rain.
Turn off the tears, girl; I don't care any more.
The speaker is indifferent to the tears of the person crying; they no longer care.
You can save all your lies, 'cause I've heard them all before:
The person's excuses or false promises are not effective as the speaker has heard them all before.
Tell it to the rain
Suggesting the person should express their feelings or excuses to the rain, implying futility or irrelevance.
And the stars that shine above,
Referring to the stars above, perhaps indicating a sense of vastness or insignificance compared to the situation.
That it's me you're thinking of,
Insinuating that the person claims to be thinking of the speaker.
And that I'm your only love--
The person claims that the speaker is their only love, but the speaker doubts the sincerity of this claim.
Tell it to the rain.
Reiterating the advice to tell their feelings or excuses to the rain, implying it won't change the situation.
I gave you love, girl, and got nothing in return.
The speaker gave love without receiving anything in return, expressing a sense of unreciprocated affection.
How does it feel to feel what I had to learn?
Asking the person to understand the pain of not being valued, suggesting a rhetorical question about the person's emotions.
Baby, don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm just not concerned:
Rejecting the person's apology as the speaker is not emotionally affected by it.
Tell it to the rain
Reiterating the advice to express feelings or excuses to the rain, emphasizing the lack of significance.
And the stars that shine above,
Repeating the idea that the person's sentiments should be directed at the rain due to their perceived insignificance.
That it's me you're thinking of,
-And that I'm your only love--
-Tell it to the rain.
-Tell it to the rain
The person is urged again to express their emotions to the rain, suggesting the futility of conveying them to the speaker.
And the stars that shine above,
-That it's me you're thinking of,
-Oh, forget it, love--
-Tell it to the rain.
-Tell it to the rain
Reiteration of the idea that the person's feelings or excuses should be directed at the rain due to their perceived lack of impact on the speaker.
And the stars that shine above,
-That it's me you're thinking of,
-And that I'm your only love--
-Tell it to the rain.
