Written By: Prince



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 want to see you laughing in the Purple Rain

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

I only want 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

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

I only want to see you bathing in the Purple Rain

Oh, I know, I know times are changing

It's time we all reach out for the 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

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

Purple Rain, Purple Rain

I wanna see you

I wanna see you

In the Purple Rain

Ooooh...
