I think it's about time I should give it up
Whenever you come around, I'm feelin' love
It's just another day for me in paradise

Beating me up, forever thinking twice
I pray to my God that I don't pay the price
It's hard to be just friends without making a mess
Something inside me, all over, oh

I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I can't love you

I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I can't love you

Asphyxiated by the thought of wanting to
Get up in the morning
Wake up right here next to you
Outta luck, so why don't you stay outta sight
I'm breathing you in, you're like my cyanide
You take all I give, and now I cling to life
You don't need to apologize
Sorry that I even tried

I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I can't love you

I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I can't love you

It started low
(I can't take it, I can't take it no)
Then it got a little louder
(I can't take it, I can't take it no)
When you got too close
(I can't take it, I can't take it no)
Just take away my power
(I can't take it)
'Cause I can't take it

I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I can't love you

I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I can't love you

Oh I can't love you
'Cause I love you
