When Doves Cry
Hollywood mon amour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too 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 you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too 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 you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya know he's too 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
The song "When Doves Cry" by Hollywood Mon Amour is a cover of the classic 1984 track by Prince. The lyrics delve into the complicated emotions and turmoil of a relationship at its breaking point, using visceral imagery and poetic language to convey the raw intensity of the situation. The opening verse sets the tone, asking the listener to imagine a passionate kiss between the two lovers, with the sweat of their bodies intermingling. The second verse takes the metaphorical dreamlike imagery further, describing a courtyard full of blooming violets and curious animals observing the heat between the couple. The lyrics then shift to the pain of the separation, with the singer questioning why their partner would leave them in such a cold and lonely world. The chorus repeats the evocative phrase "when doves cry," indicating that even the gentlest, most peaceful creatures can be wrought with emotion and pain.
Throughout the song, the singer also contemplates whether their own flaws and those of their partner have contributed to the deterioration of the relationship. They wonder if their demanding nature and boldness are too much for their partner to handle, and compare themselves to their parents in their respective roles in the relationship. The final lines of the song implore their partner not to cry, but it's unclear whether the relationship can be salvaged or if the doves will continue to cry.

Dig if you will the picture
Imagine the scene that I'm painting
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
With us kissing each other passionately
The sweat of your body covers me
I'm drenched in your perspiration
Can you my darling
Can you envision it too, my dear?
Can you picture this?
Can you imagine this happening in real life?
Dream if you can a courtyard
Visualize for a moment a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Filled with blooming violets as far as the eyes can see
Animals strike curious poses
The animals around us start showing off their peculiar behavior
They feel the heat
They sense the intense passion between us
The heat between me and you
The immense passion and desire that we share
How can you just leave me standing?
Why did you abandon me in this frigid world?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Why did you leave me all alone in this cruel, harsh world?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Perhaps, I'm asking for too much from you
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
It's possible that just like my dad, I'm too rash and daring
Maybe you're just like my mother
Maybe you're akin to my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Like my mom, you're perpetually discontented and unhappy (repeated for emphasis)
Why do we scream at each other
What's the reason for us to quarrel and yell?
This is what it sounds like
This is how people sound
When doves cry
When doves weep
Touch if you will my stomach
If you want to, lay your hand on my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
Feel how it shivers within
You've got the butterflies all tied up
You're the reason for the nervousness inside me
Don't make me chase you
Don't make me pursue you all the time
Even doves have pride
Even gentle creatures like doves possess dignity and self-esteem
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves weep (repeated for emphasis)
Don't cry (Don't Cry)
Don't weep (repeated for emphasis)
When doves cry
When doves weep
When doves cry
When doves weep
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
When doves weep (repeated for emphasis)
Don't cry
Don't weep
Darling don't cry
Please don't weep, my beloved
Don't cry
Don't weep
Don't don't cry
Please don't, don't weep
