Never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain

I only want 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 want to see you walking in the purple rain

Well, I know, I know, times are changing
It's time we all reach out for the 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
Purple rain, purple rain

Well, I'm gonna see you, well, I'm gonna see you in the the purple rain
