How can you just leave me standing   Alone in a world that's 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   Why do we scream at each other?   This is what it sounds like      When doves cry   This is what it sounds like   When doves cry      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?      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      How can you just leave me standing   Alone in 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   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   (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 that's so cold?   (A world that's 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?   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   Why do we scream at each other?   This is what it sounds like   When doves cry
