Dig if you will a picture 

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 

Animals strike curious poses 

They feel the heat, 

The heat between me and you 


(Chorus) 

How can you just leave me standing? 

Alone in a world so cold? (A 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!!! 


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? (A 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!!! 


(Chorus) 

How can you just leave me standing? 

Alone in a world so cold? (A 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!!!
