I'm not allowed to love Not allowed to fall It seems that after all Some rules must be unbroken I'm not allowed to swoon Romanticize or croon The beauty of your eyes Must still remain unspoken But my head will be unbowed I'm certainly no fool I'm no fool For I know I'll always be allowed To find exceptions To the rules I'm not allowed to love After all these years There's just so little time I can't afford to be wrong I'm not allowed to cry Tremble, whimper, sigh These signs of weakness are avoided I must be strong But my head will be unbowed I'm certainly no fool I'm no fool For I know I'll always be allowed To find exceptions To the rules Say what you will I'll hang on every word I'll hang on every letter But nothing's gonna change the truth My love is better Nothing's gonna change the truth My love is better...
