Forbidden Love

Oh, yeah

How can it be forbidden if it's love?

How can it be? How can it be?

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (Love, love)

How can it be? (Yeah) How can it be?

How?

When I look into the mirror

I see someone whose life

Will never be the same again

'Cause they say that what we found

Forbidden love, love

And the question we are up against

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (Love, love)

How can it be? How can it be? (Somebody tell me)

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (Sweet love)

How can it be? How can it be?

I've got to make that girl mine

I've been waitin' all my life

For someone just like you

We both know the feelin's fine

Oh, but society, yeah

Says that it should never, never be

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (I'm tellin' ya)

How can it be? (Hey) How can it be?

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (I ask this question one more time)

How can it be? (Oh, won't somebody please tell me) How can it be?

Hey

Is reason rulin' passion

When the power of attraction

Tempts us with satisfaction?

Ooh, it's just a natural reaction

This ain't no game we're playin'

Regardless of what they're sayin'

Somethin' inside is callin'

So let them keep on talkin'

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (Love, love, love)

How can it be? How can it be? (Somebody tell me)

How can it be forbidden if it's love? (Love, love)

How can it be? How can it be?

If it's love, girl, how could it be forbidden?

The way I feel just can't remain hidden

Folks may talk, but I don't care

'Cause wherever you are, girl, I wanna be there

Nothin' comes close to the way you smile

And girl, your touch just drives me wild

You're everythin' I dream of

How could it be forbidden if it's love?

(Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes)

How can it be forbidden if it's love?

How can it be? (Hey)  How?

Passion, pain, it's all the same

'Cause when it comes to you, this love is not a game for fame

'Cause my claim is lovin' you

And I'll break my back just to be true

We were put here for a special reason

You're the pot that's cookin' and I'm the seasonin'

You're everythin' I dream of

How could it be forbidden if it's love?

How can it be forbidden if it's love?

How can it be? How?

(How?) Lovin' you, girl, is marvelous

And when you're around, my knees get nervous

For you, I need a word that describes

And the word I use is, bonafide

From the first time ever I saw your face

In my heart, I created a special place

You're everything I dream of

How could it be forbidden if it's love?

How can it be forbidden if it's love?

How?
