When Doves Cry Lyrics


Artist: Prince
Album: Hits-The B-Sides



Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (Ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like

When doves cry
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't Cry (Don't Cry)

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

as a little girl I could never understand the meaning of this song...but now, it makes a lot of sense to me
by CLL on 6/29/2008 11:22pm
I think that this is a beautiful song, but I think that it is a bad example for children to have IM spelling such as "u" and "2" in the lyrics...

When I was a kid I just loved this song and his movie. As a little girl you really don't know the meaning of this song but as a grown woman I understand it all now.

I once met this person, a special guy.. who made me realize how important and special i am.. but then all of a sudden he left.. it's been years now.. i've listened to this song so many times but never realized what it meant till just now.. weird huh? even if am 30 years old.. we tend to b blinded every once in a while..

"I think that this is a beautiful song, but I think that it is a bad example for children to have IM spelling such as "u" and "2" in the lyrics.."

If you own any Prince albums, go look at the lyrics there.

I agree with Lebowski. Why must we use this truncated IM parlance? Prince is a goddamn genius.

I think his sound like an 80s song too much, yet has something that makes it really good like a new song. And i wanna add a comment. Crystal,this site might be rite, or all the other sites are wrong, including this one.
by Pablo on 11/29/2008 7:07am
CCL, i think tht too, but ppl arent goin to copy these down. I IM a lot, in fact im IMing right now, and i use u and 2 in it, but it doesnt affect my writing. They arent goin to go to bed EVERY night reading and say tomorrow im goin to use 2 instead of 2 cuz the lyrics did.
by dave on 12/8/2008 12:32am
ever looked at prince's song titles? He was using 'U' and '2' to stand for 'you' and 'to/too' waaaay before IM or texting. While I also hate 'textspeak', in Prince's case it seems appropriate
