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

Comments/Interpretations
Im in love with this song. The lyrics are correct.lol I checked
as a little girl I could never understand the meaning of this song...but now, it makes a lot of sense to me
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...
haha everytime i hear this song ,
hahah it cracks me up :)
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.
its pretty good i guess! LOL!
I'm 14 right now, and I just adore prince and his music. This song and Kiss are my all time favorites
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..

If you own any Prince albums, go look at the lyrics there.
i love this song.... for some reason
this song was dedicated to me by a guy im in love withh ! >/
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.
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.
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
I agree with dave. Prince uses abbreviations in all his song lyrics and titles. Look it up.
YO NO ENTENDIA EL INGLES ANTES
NOW I UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND READ THE OLD LYRICS ITS A SONG FOR ALL TIMES I LOVE PRINCE HE'S BRILLIANT
THE IM? DON'T CARE MAKES MY HAPPY
WHEN I HEAR HIM
I really like this song... but I don't like this version. This song doesn't make any sense to me... I am 14 and still don't understand it since I heard it when I was 8... if anyone knows please tell me
Man, man, these lyrics just make me want to put on a leopard skin thong and prance around like a wild animal before busting a nutt all over the CD player! Woowzaa!!
i luved this song since i was 5
a great song especially the opening guitar
Prince is a legend and originals are great but for an awesome twist, check out ginuwine feat. timbaland's version...smooth!
my mom is upsessed with this song! so am i! its heridatry!
I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH I NEVER REALLY BEEN AH FAN.. I DO APPRECIATE PRINE AS ARTIST...AND THIS SONG REALLY PUTS AH THOUGHT N UR MIND..
u guys up there need to get a life..
The guitar solo is groovy.
My grandma always said this was her favorite song,and now that ive actually heard it a couple of times i enjoy it to...GO PRINCE!:D
Since my ELEMENTARY days.. I am obsessed with ROCK.. this song is not only sung and played since.. it will be IMMORTAL.. I am now 37 and still it takes my breath away..
Why do people write on sites like this?
i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!! along with like all of Prim=nces songs. hes amazing. im waitin for him to come out with some new stuff just as good as the old
this is one of my favorite old skool songs and its by prince so that makes it better
i think this song is cool and it makes me think about how people treat each other and how they should try to be nicer and make this world a better place for everybody to live in.
Check out Damien Rice's version where he mixes a little Zeppelin in.

iam in love wit prince and all his music!my favs are darlin nikki and kiss.he rokz!!
great love song
I love this song its one of my favorite songs of all time. go prince:D
Anybody ever sing this at karaoke? How do you handle the slight vocal overlaps between the verses and the chorus?
My husband loves this song after hearing a parody by Jamie Foxx of Prince he wanted to hear the song asap. Now I like the song, but I guess I'm still young minded because I don't understand it yet. But if he likes it I love it. More power to the ARTIST FORMALLY KNOWN AS PRINCE FANS. WHOOOUP.
i have been really frustrated trying to find the song, i had heard this song quite a while ago, and i heard this song just before on the radio, and i went to try and find it and i couldnt took me an hour but i had a big headache trying to find it, but i guess the wait was worth it for the song.
Amazing. Ultimate song. It seems more techno-like to me, not really like an old song. @ People that are discussing IMSpeak: for=4 when it comes 2 prince *wink*
Wow thanks for lyrics!! the song is song great!!! How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
omg i love you prince your so cute and i love your songs boo and my favorite color is purple
PRINCE IS AMAZING. And haters can kindly DIE
I have always loved Prince he was like an idol to me when i was a kid because my mom introduced me to all the 80s songs and i will admit that i am and always will be an 80s girl even though im only 16...oh well...i guess good funky music never dies and also none of u might like this person but i also like michael Jackson's music they have good beats to dance to just like Prince!!!
I understand how I made you feel now, forever sorry, this ones for you cheryl. You did the right thing,
This songs strikes cords in me like no other....I love the strong beats.
I prefer Patti Smith remake in this case
This reminds me of a woman that I had incredible intense feelings for. I think of her when I hear this. It was mutual, but we never got together. Too complicated...
i truly love this song.it just peps me up . love its strong beats.
Happy to find out that this was the #1 song on my birth date through face book app :) I always think of Romeo and Juliet movie. Lancelot , I know the feeling...to want someone so badly but you just cant be with them for certain reasons...
If you make a fucking website. And that website's publishing lyrics. Learning how to fucking spell might be your point of business.
e uran in pula mea
This my favorite song
Guienevere:
It sounds like you know what I mean! There are very few people that connect in life! You should be with someone that you have chemistry with! A friend, partner in crime, a lover... Maybe I am a dreamer!
I settled once, but never again!
Chaio!
One of my top five Prince songs, this song is great and I'm a real Prince fan and I know his music. Me and my girl saw him 9 times in L.A when he was here. The guitar part is the bomb along with back up singing. The drum beat you will never hear one like that again, PRINCE IS THE BEST!!!!
funny how kids ask what this song's about. i looked forever for lyrics for this and lets go crazy i found that on a-z lyrics.com
I like the ong but will someone tell me what do doves sound like when they cry?
Just lov prince........hv seen all hs concert in Sydney u,rock and I jst lov ya music
The line about maybe your just like my mother she's never satisfied always reminded me of my mother. Then one day my sister and I were in the car and this song came on and that line was sung and my sister said, "that line alway's reminds me of mom"
cool song i like that song to when doves cry
