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 want to see you

Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain

Purple rain purple rain

Purple rain purple rain

I 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

Baby I could never steal you from another oh no

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

Honey I know I know times are wasted

It's time we all reach out for something new

And 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 well

Let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain purple rain

Purple rain purple rain

Purple rain purple rain

I only want to see you underneath the purple rain

Rain of the night purple rain
