Lyrics
[Lady Gaga]:
I didn’t ask for a free ride
I only ask you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up
You showed me nothing at all
It’s coming down on me
Water like misery
It’s coming down on me
I’m ready, rain on me
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me, rain rain
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me
Rain on me!
[Ariana Grande]:
Mmhm, oh yeah, baby
[Lady Gaga]:
Rain on me!
[Ariana Grande] & (Lady Gaga) :
Living in a world where no one’s innocent
Oh but at least we try mmhm
Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in
So I don’t lose my mind, baby yeah
I can feel it on my skin
(It’s coming down on me)
Teardrops on my face
(Water like misery)
Let it wash away my sins
(It’s coming down on me)
Let it wash away
[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Ariana Grande):
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me, rain rain
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain (rain) on (on) me (me!)
[Ariana Grande]:
Rain on me!

[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Lady Gaga):
Hands up to the sky
(I’ll be your galaxy)
I’m about to fly
(Rain on me, tsunami)
Hands up to the sky
(I’ll be your galaxy)
I’m about to fly
[Lady Gaga] (Ariana Grande) :
Rain on me (Rain on me!)

I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive (At least I'm alive)
Rain on me, rain rain

I hear the thunder coming down, won’t you rain on me?
Eh, y-yeah

I hear the thunder coming down, won’t you rain on me?
Eh, y-yeah
(Rain on me)
- Demo Solo Version
[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
I didn't ask for a free ride
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I didn't ask for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) It's coming down on me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Water like misery
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) It's coming down on me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I'm ready, rain on me
[Chorus]
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain, rain
[Post-Chorus]
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
[Verse 2]
I didn't ask for the daylight
'Cause I was born for the night, and it changed my life
I knew the hurt wouldn't be small
You said you'd love me forever, but you don't call
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) It's coming down on me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Water like misery
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) It's coming down on me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I'm ready, rain on me
[Chorus]
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
[Post-Chorus]
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain

Ariana is shown dancing with the dancers for her verse. Gaga and Ariana start dancing and singing together as the second chorus starts. When the bridge starts, Ariana and Gaga are shown holding hands as their hair flows. Gaga is shown as a giant watching over the dancers when the final chorus begins.
