When Doves Cry Lyrics by Michelle Glaw

Thin Rod

0

There's this song by Prince, and it's called "When Doves Cry."
Dig, if you will, the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of our bodies cover each other
Can you, my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, if you will, of a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike the most curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in this world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
Shе's never satisfied
Why do wе scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch, if you will, my stomach
Feel it tremble inside
You got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me choose
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in this world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
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 this world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
That one's done. Ha! That's pretty funny
