Song Lyrics

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
(Yeah yeah, come on)
An ocean of violets in bloom
(Yeah yeah, come on)
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?
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 (no she's never)
Why do we scream at each other? (Tell me why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

(Yeah yeah, come on)
(Yeah yeah, come on)

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 that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe)
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold (you know, too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why?)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Maybe you're just like my mother (she's never satisfied)
No she's never
Why do we scream at each other? (Tell me why)

Too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why?)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Oh baby
(Yeah yeah, come on)
A world that's so cold
(Yeah yeah, come on) no
(Yeah yeah, come on)
(Yeah yeah, come on)
