I don't want to you any sorrow. I don't want to cause you any pain. I only wanted to one time see laughing. I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
I never wanted to be your lover. I only wanted to be some kind of friend. Baby I could never steal you from another. such a shame our friendship had to end.
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain.
Honey I know, know, I know times are changing. It's time we all reach out for something new, That you too. You say you want a leader, But you can't seem to make up your mind. I think better close it, And let me guide you to purple rain.
Purple rain, Purple rain Purple rain, Purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here. C'mon raise your hand.
