1st Verse: Dig if you will the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers G Can you my darling Can you picture this? Dream if you can a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom A n***a like me strike curious poses I feel the heat The heat between me and you [Hook] How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (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) Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry [2nd Verse] Touch if you will my stomach Feel how it trembles inside Now you've got the bu*terflies all tied up Don't make me chase Even doves have pride [Hook] How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe maybe) Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (too bold) Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other (why) This is what it sounds like When doves cry [Interlude: Michael Jackson-esque shout] Ooh ooh ooh - baby [Outro] How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world so cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (you know, you know he's too bold) Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other (why) This is what it sounds like When doves cry
