Purple Rain
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
i never meant to cause you any sorrow
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
i only wanted 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
baby i could never steal you from another
it's such a shame our friendship had to end
purple rain, purple rain
i only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
honey, i know times are changing
it's time we all reach out for something new
you say you want a leader
but you can't seem to make up your mind
i think you better do it
and let me guide you to the purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
i only want to see you, only want to see you
in the purple rain
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
i only wanted 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
baby i could never steal you from another
it's such a shame our friendship had to end
purple rain, purple rain
i only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
honey, i know times are changing
it's time we all reach out for something new
you say you want a leader
but you can't seem to make up your mind
i think you better do it
and let me guide you to the purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
i only want to see you, only want to see you
in the purple rain
Purple Rain
Tori Amos's rendition of "Purple Rain" serves as a striking reinterpretation of Prince's iconic anthem.

This recording highlights her ability to deconstruct well-known songs and infuse them with her unique artistic perspective. While the original remains a defining moment in pop history, Amos's version offers a fresh sonic landscape that appeals to fans of alternative and piano-based arrangements. Her approach emphasizes the emotional core of the composition, showcasing her versatility as an interpreter within the broader canon of contemporary music.
