Never meant to cause you any sorrow Never meant to cause you any pain I just wanted to one time see you laughin' Only wanted to see you laughin' in the purple rain Purple rain purple rain Purple rain purple rain Purple rain purple rain Only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain I never meant to be your weekend lover Only wanted to be some kind of friend Darlin' I could never leave you for another Such a shame our friendship had to end chorus x 4 Purple Rain x 4 Only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
