4.6 / 5
Song updated, review now!
(Guitar solo intro)

Ahhh.

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 in 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 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.

Hee. Hee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
Mmmm, hmmm, oh.

Touch if u will my stomach.
Feel how it trembles inside.
U got the butterflies all tied up.
Don't make me chase u.
Even doves have pride.

How can 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 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.

Eeeee.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh,
oooh, oooh, oooh.
Doo, doobee, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. (Yeah.)

How can u just leave me standing alone in a world that's so cold?
(The world is 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, oh, oh, he's 2 bold.)
Maybe you're just like my mother. (Maybe you're just like my mother.)
She's never satisfied. (U know she's never satisfied.)
(Why do we scream? Why?) Why do we scream at each other?
This is when it sounds like when doves cry.

When doves cry. When doves cry. When doves cry.
When doves cry. When doves cry.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

(Guitar solo)

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
When doves cry. (Huh, huh.)
When doves cry. (Huh.)
When doves cry. (Huh, huh.)
Cry!

Cry! Cry!
Cry! Cry! Cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, yeah!
Oh, oooh, oh, oooh, oh, oooh, oh, oooh, oh, oh. (Uh!)
Oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh.
Oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh. Oh, oh.
Oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh. Oooh!
Oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh.

Huh, huh, huh, huh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.

Huh, huh, huh, huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oooh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, uh, uh, uh, oh, oh, oh, uhhh.
When doves cry, don't cry.
Darling, don't cry.
Don't cry.
Don't cry. Don't, don't cry.
