Текст песни Every Time It Rains

Michael Jackson's people called me to write a song for him, and
this was it, though he didn't record it. It's really the type
of song I don't write - a straightforward love song. But I'm
glad I get a chance to get out of myself a little bit and do
something like this. It wouldn't surprise me if "Every Time It
Rains" were the easiest to take for people who've never heard
me before.

There's this Web site devoted to me, and the people who
go on there recently voted on what their favorite songs are.
And the songs they like best are the ones like "Marie" [from
1974's Good Old Boys] - "You looked like a princess the night
we met/ With your hair piled up high/ I will never forget." They
like the romantic me, even the biggest fans I have. But I don't
work in that vein much. It's funny. It's like, why me? Why not
like Billy Joel?
