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
Laughing 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
oh, oh, purple rain, purple rain, uh, uh uh
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 uh, uh uh
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 into the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
oh, oh oh
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
oh, oh oh underneath the purple rain
