I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing
in the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanted 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
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
I only wanted to see you
underneath the purple rain
Honey I know I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach
out for something new
that means you too
You say you want a leader
but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
and let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only want to see you
only want to see you
in the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain purple rain
I only wanted to see you
laughing in the purple rain
I only wanted to see you
laughing in the purple rain
I only wanted to see you
laughing in the purple rain
