I never meant to cause you any sorrow. I never meant to cause you any pain. I only wanted to one time see you laughing. I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain.
I never wanted to be your weekend lover. I only wanted to be some kind of friend. Baby I could never steal you from another. It's such a shame our friendship had to end.
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain.
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing. 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.
