[Verse 1]
I never meant to cause you any trouble
I know, I know, I know, you didn't
I never meant to cause you any pain
But you sure made me cry
I only wanted one time to see you laughin'
I never, never did

[Pre-Chorus]
I only wanted to see you
Laughin' in purple rain

[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathin' in purple rain

[Verse 2]
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
Hmm, I never wanted to be, the other woman
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, girl
Mmm, that's what you wanted in the end
Baby, I could never steal you from another
No, no, no, not ever
[Pre-Chorus]
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain, oh yeah
Purple rain, purple rain, yeah
Purple rain, purple rain
Only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain

[Verse 3]
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out
For somethin' new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Only want to see you in the purple rain
