Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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'
[Verse 8]
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?
[Verse 9]
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?
[Verse 10]
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes)
How can it be forbidden if it's love?
How can it be? (Hey) How?
[Verse 11]
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?
[Verse 12]
How can it be forbidden if it's love?
How can it be? How?
[Verse 13]
(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?
[Verse 14]
How can it be forbidden if it's love?
How?
