I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to 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
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 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
