[Verse 1]
We overcame, changin' lanes
Colored lights, bright and yellow-blue
Show me the love, feelin' numb
Drugs are gone, I'm in two
You dreamed a little black, dreamed a little white
A splash of colored paint won't do
So we played the pain and took a walk away
And sewed our halves back in two
If I only knew, I could be superwoman to you
We coulda quit the pain, and sooner overcame
No purple rain for you

[Chorus]
So don't you change
Don't (If I could tell you)
So don't you change (Change)
Oh, baby
Don't (Don't, if I could tell you)
Don't

[Verse 2]
You're so contagious
Like falling embers, you flew
Out into orbit, now I can't absorb it
The stars align, your eyes too
For all we couldn't know
The past, we should've grown
Kingdom and a throne, all jewels
But the cracks were paved, still all the hope remained
And purple rain came through

[Chorus]
So don't you change
Don't (If I could tell you)
So don't you change, oh no (Change)
Oh, baby
Don't (Don't, if I could tell you)
Don't

[Bridge]
Darling, just remain the same
Don't let me fade away
We can't have it all
You build and I fall
So it goes
Holdin' on's kinda fake
Purple gold, purple rain
We can't have it all
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
Don't you change, no
Don't (If I could tell you)
Don't you change (Change)
(Don't let) Oh
(Don't let, don't let nobody change you)
Don't you let (Oh, don't you)
Don't you let them change you
(Change) Don't let, don't let, don't let nobody change you
(Don't, if I could tell you)
Oh, don't you
