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 

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
