Lyrics The Communards

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 anger 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
