[verse 1]
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you bathing
In that purple rain

[verse 2]
I never meant to be your weekend lover
I just want to be some kind of friend, yeah
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath
That purple rain
[verse 3]
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time I reach out for someone new
That means you, too
You say you want a leader
Can't seem to make up your mind
Better close it and let me guide you to
That purple rain

[Chorus]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, no, no, no, no, no, no
Purple rain, purple rain, oh no, no, no, no, no
I only want to see you
I only want to see you
In that purple rain
Whoa, ohhh, whoa
If only I could see now
Purple rain
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Yeah
Oh, ohh, ohh
If only I could see now
Purple rain
