[Verse 1:]
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
[Verse 3:]

And let me guide you to the purple rain
[Chorus:]
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
