Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I tell you, if I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me?
If I tell you, if I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me?
[Verse 2]
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
[Verse 3]
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
You're giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)
[Verse 4]
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me, you keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Would do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away
[Verse 6]
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before, yeah
There's a quiet storm
I think it's you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
You're giving me something that's taboo
[Verse 7]
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me, yeah
[Verse 8]
The biggest heart
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
'Cause every day is Christmas, and every night is New Year's Eve
[Verse 9]
Will you keep on loving me?
Will you keep on? Will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me?
I hope so, I really hope do, yeah
