Forbidden Love - Third World

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

How can it be, how can it be, how

When I look into the mirror I see someone

Who’s 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

How can it be, how can it be

How can it be forbidden if it’s love

How can it be, how can it be

I’ve got to make that girl mine

I’ve been waiting all my life for someone just like you

We both know the feeling’s fine

Oh, but society says that it should never, never be

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

How can it be, how can it be

Is reason ruling passion

When the power of attraction

Tempt us with satisfaction

Oh, it’s just a natural reaction

This ain’t no game we’re playing

Regardless of what they’re saying

Something inside is calling

So let them keep on talking

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

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

Nothing comes close to the way you smile

And girl, your touch just drives me wild

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 can it be, 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 loving you

And I’ll break my back just to be true

We were put here for a special reason

And you’re the pot that’s cooking and I’m the seasoning

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 can it be, how

Loving 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 space

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, how

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

Nothing comes close to the way you smile

And girl, your touch just drives me wild

You’re everything I dream of

How could it be forbidden if it’s love
