I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the 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
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain
honey I know times are changing
it's time we all reach out for something new
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.
I only want to see you, only want to see you
