    Purple Rain or November Rain?




    I never meant to cause you any sorrow
    I never meant to cause you any pain
    I only wanted to one time to 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 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
    Purple rain, purple rain
    Purple rain, purple rain
    I only wanted to see you
    Underneath the purple rain

    Honey, I know, I know
    I know times are changing
    It's time we all reach out
    For something 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
    Purple rain, purple rain
    If you know what I'm singing about up here
    C'mon, raise your hand

    Purple rain, purple rain
    I only want to see you
    Only want to see you
    In the purple rain




    When I look into your eyes
    I can see a love restrained
    But darlin' when I hold you
    Don't you know I feel the same

    Nothin' lasts forever
    And we both know hearts can change
    And it's hard to hold a candle
    In the cold November rain

    We've been through this such a long long time
    Just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah
    But love is always coming and love is always going
    And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
    Walking away

    If we could take the time
    To lay it on the line
    I could rest my head
    Just knowin' that you were mine
    All mine
    So if you want to love me
    Then darlin' don't refrain
    Or I'll just end up walkin'
    In the cold November rain

    Do you need some time on your own
    Do you need some time all alone
    Everybody needs some time
    On their own
    Don't you know you need some time all alone

    I know it's hard to keep an open heart
    When even friends seem out to harm you
    But if you could heal a broken heart
    Wouldn't time be out to charm you

    Sometimes I need some time on my
    Own
    Sometimes I need some time all alone
    Everybody needs some time
    On their own
    Don't you know you need some time all alone

    And when your fears subside
    And shadows still remain, oh yeah
    I know that you can love me
    When there's no one left to blame
    So never mind the darkness
    We still can find a way
    'Cause nothin' lasts forever
    Even cold November rain

    Don't ya think that you need somebody
    Don't ya think that you need someone
    Everybody needs somebody
    You're not the only one
    You're not the only one

    Don't ya think that you need somebody
    Don't ya think that you need someone
    Everybody needs somebody
    You're not the only one
    You're not the only one

    Don't ya think that you need somebody
    Don't ya think that you need someone
    Everybody needs somebody
    You're not the only one
    You're not the only one

    Don't ya think that you need somebody
    Don't ya think that you need someone
    Everybody needs somebody

    Chocolate Rain



    Chocolate rain
    Some stay dry and others feel the pain
    Chocolate rain
    A baby born will die before the sin
    Chocolate rain
    The school books say it can't be here again
    Chocolate rain
    The prisons make you wonder where it went
    Chocolate rain
    Build a tent and say the world is dry
    Chocolate rain
    Zoom the camera out and see the lie
    Chocolate rain
    Forecast to be falling yesterday
    Chocolate rain
    Only in the past is what they say
    Chocolate rain
    Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
    Chocolate rain
    Makes us happy 'livin in a gate
    Chocolate rain
    Made me cross the street the other day
    Chocolate rain
    Made you turn your head the other way
    Chocolate rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate rain
    Using you to fall back down again
    Chocolate rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate rain
    Using you to fall back down again
    Chocolate rain
    Seldom mentioned on the radio
    Chocolate rain
    It's the fear your leaders call control
    Chocolate rain
    Worse than swearing worse than calling names
    Chocolate rain
    Say it publicly and you're insane
    Chocolate rain
    No one wants to hear about it now
    Chocolate rain
    Wish real hard it goes away somehow
    Chocolate rain
    Makes the best of friends begin to fight
    Chocolate rain
    But did they know each other in the light?
    Chocolate rain
    Every February washed away
    Chocolate rain
    Stays behind as colors celebrate
    Chocolate rain
    The same crime has a higher price to pay
    Chocolate rain
    The judge and jury swear it's not the face
    Chocolate rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate rain
    Using you to fall back down again
    Chocolate rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate rain
    Using you to fall back down again
    Chocolate rain
    Dirty secrets of economy
    Chocolate rain
    Turns that body into GDP
    Chocolate rain
    The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
    Chocolate rain
    But test scores are how much the parents make
    Chocolate rain
    Flippin' cars in France the other night
    Chocolate rain
    Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
    Chocolate rain
    'Cross the world and back it's all the same
    Chocolate rain
    Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
    Chocolate rain
    Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
    Chocolate rain
    Which part do you think you're livin' in?
    Chocolate rain
    More than marchin', more than passing law
    Chocolate rain
    Remake how we got to where we are
    Chocolate rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate rain
    Using you to fall back down again
    Chocolate rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate rain
    Using you to fall back down again

    No rain in the title (but in the chorus), I know, but this song reminds me of the Gulf Coast more than any other, so deal with it
