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

Yes, they cry
Oh, they 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

This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
Oh, ah, oh, ah
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

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

Doves cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry

How can you just leave me standing
( You know that they cry )
Alone in a world that's so cold?

Too bold

She's never satisfied
( You know that they cry )
Why do we scream at each other?
