{Controversy Music, ASCAP - 1984} Dig if u will the picture Of u and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers me Can u my darling Can u picture this? Dream if u can a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses They feel the heat The heat between me and u How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold) Maybe I'm just 2 demanding Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry Touch if u will my stomach Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase u Even doves have pride How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold) Maybe I'm just 2 demanding Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold) Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father) Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (Ya know he's 2 bold) Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother) She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why) This is what it sounds like When doves cry When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry) When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry) Don't Cry (Don't Cry)
