"When Doves Cry" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
Dig if U will the picture--
Of U and I engaged in a kiss.
The sweat of your body covers me
Can U, my darling,
Can U picture this?
Dream if U can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat--
The heat between me and U.
How can U just leave me standing--
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father - 2 bold...
Maybe U'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 U will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
U've got the butterflies all tied up--
Don't make me chase U--
Even doves have pride.
How could U just leave me standing--
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding...
Maybe I'm just like my father - 2 bold
Maybe U'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 U just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold.)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding. (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father.)
Maybe I'm just like my father - 2 bold. (U know, U know he's 2 bold.)
Maybe U're just like my mother. (Maybe U'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 (When doves cry) (When doves cry) {x2}
Don't cry (Don't cry)
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
Babe! {x6}
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry)
When… when…
Don't cry.
Darling, don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't, don't cry.
