I nev-er meant 2 cause u an-y sor-row

I nev-er meant 2 cause u an-y pain

I on-ly want-ed 2 one time see u laugh-ing

I on-ly want to see u laugh-ing

in the pur-ple rain

CHORUS

Pur-ple rain pur-ple rain

Pur-ple rain pur-ple rain

Pur-ple rain pur-ple rain

I on-ly want-ed 2 see u bath-ing

in the pur-ple rain

VERSE 2

I nev-er want-ed to be your week-end lov-er

I on-ly want-ed 2 be some kind of friend

Ba-by I could nev-er steal u from a-noth-er

Its such a shame our friendship had 2 end

CHORUS

I on-ly want-ed 2 see u un-der-neath

the pur-ple rain

Hon-ey I know, I know, I know

times are chang-ing

Its time we all reach out 4 some-thing new

U say u want a lead-er

But u can't seem 2 make up your mind

I think u bet-ter close it

And let me guide u 2 the pur-ple rain

CHORUS

I on- ly want 2 see u, on- ly want 2 see u

In the pur-ple rain
