Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Picture this ?
Can you picture this?
Dream if you will a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
Between me and you
Between me and you
Between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world thats so cold?
Maybe Im just too demanding
Maybe Im just like my father too bold
Too bold
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
Ive got the butterflies all tied up
Dont make me chase you
Dont make me
Dont make me chase you
Dont make me chase you
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Picture this ?
Can you picture this?
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
Ive got the butterflies all tied up
Dont make me chase you
Dont make me chase you
Ive got the butterflies
Ive got the butterflies
Dont make me chase you
Dont make me chase you
Dont make me chase you
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
Even doves have pride
Even doves have pride
Even doves have pride
Feel how it trembles inside
Feel how it trembles inside
See how it trembles inside
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
See how it trembles inside
This is what it sounds like
