How can you leave me standing
Alone in a world that is 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
Yes, they cry
Oh, they cry.

How could you 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 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
(Yeah...)

This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
(Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah...)
Ohh, ahh, oh, oh.

Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violence in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat, the heat between me and you.

Maybe I'm just like my mother
(Maybe)
She's never satisfied
(She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
(Yeah...)

Doves cry.

Oh-ah-ohh
(Oh, ohh)
Oh-ah-ohh
(Yeah)
Oh-ah-ohh
Oh-ah-ohh...

(Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah...)

You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry.

How could you leave me standing
(How could you?)
(You know that they cry)
Alone in a world that's so cold?
(You know that they cry)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
(Too demanding)
(You know that they cry)
Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
(You know that they cry)
Maybe I'm just like my mother
(Woo, yeah)
(You know that they cry)
She's never satisfied
(She's never satisfied)
(You know that they cry)
Why do we scream at each other?
(You know that they cry)
This is what it sounds like
When the doves cry.
