Intro

Verse

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you

Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Chorus

Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

Verse

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

Purple rain, purple rain

Chorus

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know

I know times are changing

Verse

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

Purple rain, purple rain

Chorus

If you know what I'm singing about up here

C'mon, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you

Only want to see you

In the purple rain

Instrumental

Outro

Silence
