Prince and the Revolution - 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 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 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 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? (A world that's so cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding, (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father) Maybe I'm just like my father – too bold (Ya, know he's to bold) Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother) She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why?) This is what it sounds like

When doves cry. When doves cry. (Doves cry, doves cry) When doves cry. (Doves cry, doves cry)
