[Verse 1]
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
(Thank you)
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
Only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

[Chorus]
Purple (rain, purple rain) yeah
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, no no
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, yea-yeah
Baby baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

[Chorus]
(Somebody!)
(Purple rain, purple rain)
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you, no no no no
I only want to see you in the purple rain
[Verse 3]
Honey, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means y'all too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it-uh
Think you better close it-uh
And let the Lord guide you, let me guide you to the purple rain

[Chorus]
Say it!
(Purple rain, purple rain) Everybody!
It's alright Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about raise your hands
Purple rain, purple rain
It's gonna be alright
You say it's gonna be alright
You say it's gonna be alright
I only want to see you

[Outro]
If you want, sing along
C'mon
C'mon
One more time everybody!
Everybody now sing
