Forbidden Love

They say that our love is forbidden
and I just plain don't understand
If I truly love you as my woman
and you truly love me as your man

We should shout it from the rafters
proclaim our love to all of the world
Hire a town crier at midnight
to keep our town in a whirl

Take out ads in all the papers
'Hey folks, our love is for real!'
Go on all of the talk-shows
let 'em know how real love feels

Cuz there's not much real love around
in the world in which we live
Not much will to sacrifice
nor much will to give

Unselfishly to one another
I choose your safety over mine
Your comfort it is paramount
my will it just serves thine

However..our love is forbidden
for reasons that aren't very clear
It seems that unselfish love
causes folks to hate and to fear
