‘Forbidden Desire’ is a soulful ballad that captures the emotional struggle of a woman who finds herself longing for a man who is already committed to someone else. Through powerful lyrics and a captivating melody, Beyoncé expresses the complexities of love, desire, and the heart's unyielding pursuit even in challenging circumstances.
Verse 1:
I see you across the room, shining like a star,
Can't help but wonder, how did we get this far?
Your smile draws me in, like a moth to the flame,
But I know in my heart, it's a dangerous game.
Chorus:
Oh, this forbidden desire,
It burns like a wildfire,
You're taken, but I'm still wanting,
A love that's so taunting.
Verse 2:
Every glance that we share, feels like a secret song,
I wish I could be with you, but it feels so wrong.
You're holding her close, but my heart's not listening,
Caught in this whirlwind, oh, it's so bittersweet.
Chorus:
Oh, this forbidden desire,
It burns like a wildfire,
You're taken, but I'm still wanting,
A love that's so taunting.
Bridge:
I'm drowning in dreams of you,
In a world where we could be two,
But the truth is so heavy, can we break free?
These chains of love, will they let me be?
Verse 3:
Still, I can't ignore this pull of fate,
Each moment with you feels like a first date,
But I’ve got to respect, the love that you’ve made,
And keep my heart guarded, let my dreams fade.
Chorus:
Oh, this forbidden desire,
It burns like a wildfire,
You're taken, but I'm still wanting,
A love that's so taunting.
Outro:
So I’ll cherish this feeling, hidden in my soul,
A love that could be real, but they’ve got your whole,
I'll keep you in my heart, as I watch from afar,
This untouchable flame, my beautiful scar.
