The Communards
"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
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 is like forbidden fruit
Our love is like forbidden fruit
Our love is like forbidden fruit
Our love is like forbidden fruit
Forbidden fruit, forbidden fruit
