Bad Weather Lyrics

[Intro]
Oohhhhh, ooh, ooh, oohhhhhhh
Ooh, ooh, oohhhhhhhh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-whoa

[Verse 1]
Why is it we can't be
The way we used to be?
Problems, we would work it out
Whenever there was any doubt
You used to trust in me
But now you're leaving me to suffer
Oh, oh, oh yeah, a-yeah
If you give love a chance
I'll do the best I can
We can work it out in time
And mend the pieces of our lives
Please believe in me
Every day is looking darker

[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna run into bad weather
Skies are gray, 'cause our love just ain't together
Think I'm gonna run into bad weather
'Cause our love just ain't together
Ooh
[Verse 2]
All the things we used to do
Together, me and you
Think of the fun we had
And how our love's supposed to last
Mistakes were not all you
I know I made some too, sugar, ooh, baby, baby
Open up your eyes and see
That you're the one for me
Let's fix it, there's still time
Where we can love, love, sunshine
Baby won't you please
Stop it, don't make me suffer

[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna run into bad weather
Ooh, look at the rain
'Cause our love just ain't together, no-o
Think I'm gonna run into bad weather
'Cause our stuff just ain't together

[Bridge]
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ah!
[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna run into bad weather
'Cause our love just ain't together, oh no (Ah, ah, ah, ah!)
Think I'm gonna run into bad weather
Look at the rain
'Cause our stuff just ain't together
Hey, baby, baby, baby, yeah

Bad weather, bad weather, bad weather
Our love just ain't together
(It ain't together, no)
(Run into bad weather)
Gonna run, gonna run, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
You got me running, you got me running, hey, yeah

What did The Supremes say about "Bad Weather"?
Genius Answer

[Supreme] Lynda [Laurence] having sung with Stevie Wonder was to our advantage, because for us he produced and co-wrote “Bad Weather” with Lynda’s brother Ira Tucker. Stevie Wonder was hot then with Talking Book. He was a magician in the studio. Too bad the single failed. It’s one of our best songs of the period.

— Mary Wilson, The 70s Anthology liner notes, 2002
