Lyrics

The Sweetest Taboo

If I tell you If I tell you now Will you keep on Will you keep on loving me? If I tell you If I tell you how I feel Will you keep bringing out the best in me? You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo Too good for me There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before There's a quiet storm that is you There's a quiet storm and it never felt this hot before Giving me something that's taboo (Sometimes I think you're just too good for me) You give me the sweetest taboo That's why I'm in love with you (With you) You give me you give me the sweetest taboo Too good for me (Sometimes I think you're just too good for me) I'd do anything for you I'd stand out in the rain Anything you want me to do Don't let it slip away There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before There's a quiet storm I think it's you There's a quiet storm and I never felt this hot before Giving me something that's taboo You give me the you give me the sweetest taboo That's why I'm in love with you (With you) You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo Too good for me You got the biggest heart Sometimes I think you're just too good for me Every day is Christmas and every night is New Year's Eve Will you keep on loving me? Ha-ha Will you keep on, will you keep on Bringing out the best in me?
