[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you bathing

In the purple rain

[Verse 2]

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

[Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you underneath the purple rain

[Verse 3]

Honey, I know, 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

[Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain, yeah

Purple rain, purple rain, wooo!

If you know what I'm singing about up here

Come on, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain, yeah

I only want to see you

Only want to see you in the purple rain
