When Doves Cry (Cosmic Funk 7")

Dig if you will that 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
On Ocean of violets in bloom
A nigga like me strike curious poses
I 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 you're just too demanding
Maybe you just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never (she's never satisfied)
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other? (Ooh, ooh)
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Touch if you will my stomach
I feel how it trembles inside
Now you've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase
Even doves have pride

How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (Alone in a world so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (my father, you know ooh, too bold)
Maybe I'm just like my mother (maybe I'm just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never)
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other? (Why?)
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Ooh, ooh, ooh (ah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (whatchu say G?)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (ah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (whatchu say G?)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (ah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (mm, do-do) (whatchu say G?)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh baby hey

How can you just leave me standing?
How could you leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe)
Eh, my father, you know, you know, you know he's too bold

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

Eh
Eh-eh
Ooh-ooh
Eh, eh
Ooh, okay

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

How can you just leave me standing (eh-eh)
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe)
Eh, my father, you know, you know, you know he's too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother (maybe I'm just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why?)
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Eh
Eh-eh
