Never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
Only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
Oh, I know, I know times are changin’
Time we all reach out for the new
That means you too
You say I want a leader
But you can’t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
Let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I wanna see you, I wanna see you
In the purple rain
