How can you 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 I'm 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 smell 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 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      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 I'm just like my mother   She's never satisfied   Why do we scream at each other   This is what it sounds like when doves cry
