Purple Rain Songtext
von Prince

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted, one time, to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey
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
Only want to see you underneath the purple rain


Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
It′s time we all reach out for somethin' new
That means you, too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain (yeah, yeah)
Purple rain, purple rain (whoo)
If you know what I′m singing about up here, come on, raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain, yeah
I only want to see you
Only want to see you in the purple rain

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
