Tell me, why do doves cry, why do doves cry

[Verse 1]
Life's purple rain turns to human tears
The cry of the doves just keeps on ringing in your ears
Screams of desertion, they forever set the tone
A slap to the face, that's how this love is shown
You're standing on the window ledge, jumping to free your head
Pressure's too much to bear, reality
The devil's prayer ain't free from whatever shadow eclipses in your mind
There's nothing live about suicidе and doves that cry behind

[Chorus]
How could you just leavе me standing
Alone in the world 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
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

[Verse 2]
The flashback syndrome sends you deep into the past
A double personality, evident from drug past
The chain of cocaine, drags you down and leave you lame
Your body doubles up from all the excruciating pain
It's the white horse, weight loss
You gotta have at any cost
Energy, crystal, possessive jones
Now just a pinch or tiny snort of that pure white powder
Smell voices of doves that cry louder, and louder, and louder
[Chorus]
How could you just leave me standing
Alone in the world 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
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

How could you just leave me standing
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

[Outro]
Cherish life, experience all it's worth
Don't be afraid to seek the shade that imprisoned society's dirt
Our drug-infested culture, purple rain in the sky
Is there any wonder why doves cry?
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
