"Purple Rain" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture) - Purple Rain

I never meant 2 cause U any sorrow--
I never meant 2 cause U any pain--
I only wanted one time 2 see U laughing...
I only wanted 2 see U laughing in the purple rain.

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted 2 see U bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover...
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend, hey!
Baby, I could never steal U from another.
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end!

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted 2 see U underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin’
It's time we all reach out 4 something new, that means U 2...
U say U want a leader, but U can't seem 2 make up your mind.
I think U better close it and let me guide U 2 the purple rain.

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If U know what I'm singin’ about up here, come on raise your
Hand.
Purple rain, purple rain--
I only want 2 see U, only want 2 see U in the purple rain.
