[Verse 1]
I think it's about time I should give it up (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Whenever you come around, I'm feelin' love (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
It's just another day for me in paradise (Ah, ah-ah)
Beating me up, forever thinking twice (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I pray to my God that I don't pay the price (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to be just friends without makin' a mess (Ah, ah-ah)
Something inside me all over (Oh)

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

[Post-Chorus]
(I-I can't love you)

[Verse 2]
Asphyxiated by the thought of wanting to get up in the morning
Wake up right here nеxt to you
(Outta luck, so why don't you stay outta sight?)
I'm breathing you in, you're like my cyanidе
You take all I give, and now I cling to life
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need to apologize
Sorry that I even tried (Oh)

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

[Post-Chorus]
(I-I can't love you)
(One, two, three, four)

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why
I-I can't love you
I can't take this forbidden feeling
I can't take it, so many reasons why (Why)
I-I can't love you (Oh)
[Outro]
I-I-I can't love you
'Cause I-I-I love you
