I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to see you one time laughing
I only want to see you laugh in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you bathe underneath the purple rain
I never wanted to be no weekend lover
I just want to be some kind of friend
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
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain
I know, I know
I know times are changing
And we all got to look out for something new, means me too
You say you want a leader, but you can't make up your mind
So you better close it, let me take you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you laugh underneath the purple rain
