"Raining Men" is a song performed by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, taken from her fifth studio album Loud (2010). The song was solicited to urban radio on December 7, 2010, as the third single from Loud in the United States. The up-tempo record features rap vocals from Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj. "Raining Men" received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the chemistry between Rihanna and Minaj but criticised the song for failing to create anything new or original. Even though the song received no promotion apart from urban radio adds, it managed to peaked at number forty-eight on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Eenie, meenie, minie, mo
Catch a player by the toe
If you want to let him go
Ladies don't worry 'cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Oh it's raining men girl what you worry 'bout?
Who you think you getting with that "Hi, let me freak you"
You got me mistaken thinking you gon' get it easy
First of all you need to know that I'm not the one
Think you getting something baby, you ain't getting none
All you need to know that I'm a 2 times 5
Load it, cock it, aim it baby, boom bye-bye
Set your standards lower boy you're aiming too high
Matter of fact your friend looks better, so good-bye
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo
Catch a player by the toe
If you want to let him go
Ladies don't worry 'cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Oh it's raining men girl what you worry 'bout?
Excuse me but who are you fixing to be?
Let them motherfuckers know there's plenty of fish in the sea
And he sweating me just 'cause I got the tightest hole
Bet I couldn't find that thing with a microscope
Give me dome dome, dadadada, dome dome dome
I ain't tripping on your money, money long long long
Want my own TV production company
So tell Harpo to hit me Celie
Anyway Ri-Ri, what rhymes with your name freely?
Money got you vacationing in Chile
Do you wanna sit on the back while I wheelie? Really? Really?
No for real, really?
Laid down on the beach, they be feeding me my catfishes
'Cause it's raining men
Fat bitches
Ladies don't worry 'cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Oh it's raining men girl what you worry 'bout?
I said hey, outta my way, where my ladies
Riding big, living good, doing big things
Dancing, don't pay
Player keep the money I can buy my own drink
Up in the club, see men coming
Dime a dozen so it don't mean nothing to me
And I ain't even worried about you, homie
'Cause there's plenty more fish in the sea, OK
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo
Catch a player by the toe
If you want to let him go
Ladies don't worry 'cause they got plenty more
Men be falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Falling like the rain so we ain't running out
Oh it's raining men girl what you worry 'bout?
