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

laugh in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend,

hey 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

laid in the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I

know sometimes yeah your changin'

It's time we all reach out for

something new, that means me and you too

You say you want a leader, but you

can't make up your mind

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 to see you laugh

see you laugh oh yeah

purple rain purple rain
