Songwriters Nelson, Prince Rogers
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
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe Im just too demanding
And maybe Im just like my father, too bold
And maybe Im just like my mother
Shes never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
See how it trembles inside
Youve got the butterflies all tied up
Dont make me chase you, even doves have pride
Just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe Im just too demanding
And maybe Im just like my father, too bold
And maybe Im just like my mother
Shes 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 so cold?
Maybe Im just too demanding
And maybe Im just like my father, too bold
And maybe Im just like my mother
Shes never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
But this is what it sounds like when doves cry
