When Doves Cry - Prince/The Revolution

Written by：Prince

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 too 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

Don't cry don't cry
