Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the 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 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
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you to
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better clos it
And let me guid you to the purple rain

If you know waht I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand
