FORBIDDEN

Inspired by "Part Time Lover" - Stevie Wonder I know I’m spending too much time with you And really ought to turn and walk away. I came today when in my heart I knew Just what a dangerous game it is we play No words of love have passed between us yet. We’ve both been careful not to cross the line. But when you’re near it’s easy to forget That you have yours at home and I have mine For something in the way you smile at me And how, when fingers accidentally meet, They linger almost imperceptibly, Makes time stand still and my heart skip a beat And so, although this thing is wrong I know, I’ll stay with you until you bid me go
