When Doves Cry -- 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   When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

This deals with Prince's feelings toward his parents when he wondered if he was becoming like them. He calls his father "demanding" and mother "never satisfied." He wrote it for his movie Purple Rain.                                                 (songfacts.com)
