I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time 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
I only wanted to see you underneath
The purple rain
