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
How can u just leave me standing?
Touch if u will my stomach
How can u just leave me standing?
How can u just leave me standing?
When doves cry
Don't Cry (Don't Cry) When doves cry
When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry

She saw me walking down the streets
Of your fine city It kinda turned me on when she looked at me And said, "C'mere" Now I don't usually talk to strangers But she looked so pretty What can I lose, If I, uh, just give her a little ear? "What's up little girl?" "I ain't got time to play." Baby didn't say too much She said, "Are you gay?" Kinda took me by suprise I didn't know what to do I just looked her in her eyes And I said, "No, are u?" Said to myself, said "She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy Little mixed up dame. She's just a victim of society And all it's games." Now where I come from We don't let society Tell us how it's supposed to be Our clothes, our hair We don't care It's all about being there Everybody's going Uptown That's where I wanna be Uptown Set your mind free Uptown Got my body hot Get down I don't wanna stop, no As soon as we got there Good times were rolling White, Black, Puerto Rican Everybody just a-freakin' Good times were rolling She started dancing in the streets

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love And we will smoke them all With an intellect and a savoir-faire No one in the whole universe Will ever compare I am yours now and U are mine And together we'll love through All space and time, so don't cry One day all 7 will die All 7 and we'll watch them fall
And I saw an angel come down unto me
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
[(Just how old)] And we will see a plague and a river of blood
There will be a new city with streets of gold
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
[(Just how old)]
