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
Laughing in that purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, yeah
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 want to see you
Underneath that purple rain

Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means [?] do 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 that purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
In that purple rain
Ahh!
