Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
[Verse 2]
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
[Verse 3]
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
[Verse 4]
I fell in love and I didn't want to do it 'cause I knew
That your love wasn't true
You try to hide that sinister appearance and the lies
Those alibis
[Verse 5]
You give your love to anyone who asks, yes, you do
And I know that it's true
But still I care and I want to see you there
When I need, yes, indeed, you are
[Verse 6]
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
[Verse 7]
I can't resist that very strong urge to have you, dear
Oh, please come here
Just let me love you any time and any place we dare
We'll just let them stare
[Verse 8]
You want to love everybody and everything you can
You're the typical man
Yet still in all I'm at your beck and call
When you need, yes, indeed, you are
[Verse 9]
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
[Verse 10]
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden
[Verse 11]
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
[Verse 12]
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
[Verse 13]
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
My forbidden lover, I don't want no other
