Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dig if you will in the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers G
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
[Verse 2]
Dream if you can a courtyard
Oceans of violets in bloom
A **** like me strikes curious poses
I feel the heat
The heat between me and you
[Verse 3]
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 I'm 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
[Verse 4]
Touch if you will on 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
[Verse 5]
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's 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
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, why?)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
[Verse 6]
How can you just leave me standing? (How can you leave me standing?)
Alone in a world so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe)
You know, you know, you know it's true
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 (Hey, he-he-he, ooh ooh)
[Verse 7]
Yeah
Oh-oh, oh yeah
Maybe I'm just like my mother (Maybe I'm just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's 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
[Verse 8]
Only real G's roll with me (Only real G's)
Player haters, they don't like me (Suckers, yeah)
Only real G's roll with me (Thats right)
Player haters, they don't like me
