Lyrics

[Chorus]
My forbidden lover
I don't want no other
My forbidden lover
I don't want no other
[Verse 1]
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
Whew, those alibis
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
[Chorus]
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 2]
I can't resist
That very strong urge just to have you, dear
Oh, please come here
Just let me love you
Anytime and any place we dare
We'll just let them stare
You want to love everybody
And everything you can
You're the typical man
Yet still and all
I'm at your beck and call
When you need, yes indeed, you are
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
My forbidden lover
I don't want no other
My forbidden lover
I don't want no other
My forbidden lover
