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 rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain, purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never, 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
Purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out for something new
You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it, let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain
