I never meant to cause you any problem
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
Only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, 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
Babe I could never steal you from another
Its such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you baby in the purple rain
I know, I know, I know times are changing
Its time we all reach out for the new that means you too
Now I known you say you want a leader
But you cant seem to make up your mind
I think youre common 
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you, only want to see you in the purple rain
