Lyrics

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to see you laughing

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 times are changin'

It's time we all reach out for something new

That means you too

You say you want a leader, but you can't make up your mind

I think you better close it

Let me guide you darling to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
