Forbidden Love (Amor Prohibido)
Selena · Other Songs - Selena
I wait for that moment when I can hear your voice
And when at last we are together the two of us
What does it matter what your mom and dad say
All that matter's is our love, I love you
"Forbidden Love" they whisper in the streets
Because we are from different societies
"Forbidden Love" everyone tells us
Money doesn't matter to you or to me, nor to the heart
Oh baby.....
Even though I'm poor, all this that I give you
Is worth more than money because it truly is love
And when at last we are together the two of us
What does it matter what they say, or the society
All that matters is our love, I love you
"Forbidden Love" they whisper on the streets
Because we are from different societies
"Forbidden Love" everyone tells us
Money doesn't matter to you or to me, nor the heart
Oh baby.....
(repeat til fade)
