Forbidden Love



Lyrics

Just one kiss on my lips
Was all it took to seal the future
Just one look from your eyes
Was like a certain kind of torture

Once upon a time
There was a boy and there was a girl
Just one touch from your hands
Was all it took to make me falter

Forbidden love, are we supposed to be together
Forbidden love, forbidden love
Forbidden love, we seal our destiny forever
Forbidden love, forbidden love

Just one smile on your face
Was all it took to change my fortune
Just one word from your mouth
Was all I needed to be certain

Once upon a time
There was a boy and there was a girl
Hearts that intertwine
They lived in a different kind of world

Forbidden love, are we supposed to be together
Forbidden love, forbidden love
Forbidden love, we seal our destiny forever
Forbidden love, forbidden love

Just one kiss, just one touch, just one look
(Five, four, three, two, one)

Forbidden love, are we supposed to be together
Forbidden love, forbidden love
Forbidden love, we seal our destiny forever
Forbidden love, forbidden love

Forbidden love, are we supposed to be together?
Forbidden love, forbidden love
Forbidden love, we seal our destiny forever
Forbidden love, forbidden love

Just one kiss, just one touch, just one look, just one love
(Five, four, three, two, one)

Tour

Forbidden Love @ Confessions Tour After dying at the end of her fantastic Live To Tell performance on the Confessions Tour, Madonna is resurrected on the tones of Forbidden Love. As she dances on and around the cross, two male dancers perform a beautiful hand choreography and hug each other before disappearing from the stage. On the European tour (which coincided with the Lebanese-Israeli war) the dancers have the symbols of the Star of David and the crescent moon painted on their body. So whether forbidden love is talking about love between two males or between different cultures or religions, is up to the interpretation of the viewer. On the screen all these symbols that divide us are smashed and ultimately there's the embryo, the symbol of life and love. Madonna joins the two dancers and they do the hand choreography together. At the end, Madonna picks up her crown of thorns and disappears.
