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

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 (leave me standing)
Alone in a world that's so cold? (so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (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
(Why did you love me, alone in a word that's so cold, so cold)
Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
(Maybe you're just like my mother)
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
