[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, baby, 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, yeah-yeah
Baby, baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end, somebody!

[Chorus]
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, see you in the purple rain now

[Verse 3]
Honey, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know times are changing
And it's time we all reach out for something new, that means y'all too, yeah
You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it, uh, maybe you better close it, uh, and let the Lord guide you, let me guide you to the purple rain, say it!
[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain (Everybody! It's alright)
Purple rain, purple rain (If you know what you singing about raise your hands)
Purple rain, purple rain (It's gon' be alright, you say it's gon' be alright, you say it's gon' be alright)
Yeah, I only want to see you

[Outro]
If you wanna sing, it's cool, come on
One more time, everybody!
Come on
Two, three, yeah
One more time, everybody
Everybody in the world, sing
