I never meant to cause you any problem
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time 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
Babe 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 baby in the purple rain

I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for the new that means you too
Now I known you say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you're common [Incomprehensible]
And 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, only want to see you in the purple rain
