The Communards - Forbidden Love Lyrics

The Communards Lyrics

"Forbidden Love"

Our love is like forbidden fruit
But we take each bite with pride not shame
In this garden where the bitter poison rots
But all the same we shall stand so strong, so proud
Give in to prejudice behind closed doors we have to kiss
But I long to hold your hand in the rain

Watching accepted lovers expressing tenderness and joy
Makes an angel stir in me for something I can't truly have
Like a young boy who's denied his favourite toy
I just want to scream, just want to scream
And demonstrate my resistance

Just demonstrate my resistance
Just demonstrate my resistance

Our love is like forbidden fruit
But we take each bite with pride not shame
In this garden where the bitter poison rots
But all the same every day brings another tear
Behind each stare lies a hidden tear
Someday soon we will have our day
Until then our love forbidden stays
Our love forbidden stays

Our love is like forbidden fruit...
