When Doves Cry

[Verse 1]

Dig, if you will, the picture

Of you and I engaged in a kiss

The sweat of your body covers me

Can you, my darling?

Can you picture this?

[Verse 2]

Dream, if you can, a courtyard

An ocean of violets in bloom

Animals strike curious poses

They feel the heat

They feel the heat between me and you

Heat between me and you

[Chorus]

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 the doves cry

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

How can you just leave me standing

Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)

Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe)

Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold

Maybe you're just like my mother

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Oh, why do we scream at each other?

This is what it sounds like

When the doves cry

[Bridge]

Oh, ooh, oh

(When the doves cry)

Oh, hey

[Chorus]

How can you just leave me standing

Alone in a world that's so cold? (World that's so cold)

Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe)

Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold

Maybe you're just like my mother (My mother)

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other?

This is what it sounds like

When the doves cry

[Outro]

Oh, ahh

Ahh, no, no

Ahh, ooh

La la la la

This is what it sounds like

When the doves cry
