Lyrics Purple Rain - Live In Syracuse, March 30, 1985 - 2022 Remaster - Prince

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

Purple (rain), uh (purple rain), yeah
Purple rain (uh), purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see, bathing, baby, in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover, no, no

I only wanted to be some kind of friend, yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, I could never steal you from another, ooh
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Somebody! Purple rain, purple rain, yeah, woo!
Purple rain (yeah), purple rain, oh, yeah, woo!
Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you, no, no, no, no, I only wanted to see you, see you in the purple rain, now
Honey, I know, I know, I know, I know, yeah! I know times are changing

It's time we all reach out for something new, ah, that means y'all too, yeah
You say you wanna leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it, maybe you better close it, let the Lord guide you, let it guide you to the purple rain

Sing it! (Purple rain) everybody (purple rain)
It's alright (purple rain), oh purple rain
If you know what you're singing about raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain, it's gonna be alright (yeah)
He say it's gonna be alright, he say it's gonna be alright
Only want to, la-la! La-la-la-la-la

You wanna sing this tune? Come on!
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
One more time! Everybody!
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
Come on

Two, three, yeah!

One more time, everybody!
Everybody in the world sing!

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh)
