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
