Her little man is 4 years old 
Looks like his father so he's been told 
But he wouldn't know it, he ain't never seen him around 
Life has been cold, it treats her unkind 
But she'll keep on searching until she can find 
Something she can cling to when the rain comes down 
A candle just won't light in the pouring rain 
The pressures of this life are driving her insane yeah 
Now given the chance she knows she can shine 
But she's so tied down that she ain't got the time 
A candle just won't light in the pouring rain 
She was so young, had to quit school 
Grew up too fast now she's nobody's fool 
No time for dreamin' life just kinda leads her around 9 to 5 world leaves nowhere to grow 
She'd spread her wings but there's nowhere to go 
Her tiny flame is no match for the rain coming down 
A candle just won't light in the pouring rain 
The pressures of this life are driving her insane (yeah) 
Now given the chance she knows she can shine 
But she's so tied down that she ain't got the time 
A candle just won't light in the pouring rain
