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?

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 This is what it sounds like This is what it sounds like This is what it sounds like Oh, ah, oh, ah 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 Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied She's never satisfied Why do we scream at each other?
