When Doves Cry Lyrics By Prince

    dig if you will the picture
    of you and i engaged in a kiss
    the sweat of your body covers me
    can you my darling
    can you picture this

    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

    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
    alone in a world 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
    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

    break
    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
    darling don’t cry
    don’t cry don’t cry don’t don’t cry
