Miriam Makeba Forbidden Games Lyrics

Intro: F# Bm Em F# Bm G F#
V1
Everyone knows you belong to another,
Spinning your magic for him and no other,
Still, I've been content to be part of this fantasy,
Part of this game that I play.
Though it's forbidden and you'll love me never,
I'll keep my love hidden and love you forever,
Through countless eternities you will be mine,
In these forbidden games that I play.
V2
Though it's forbidden for my arms to hold you,
And though it's forbidden, my tears must have told you,
That I hold you secretly each time we meet,
In these forbidden games that I play.
V3
Though it's forbidden in dim quiet places,
To capture the rainbows my aching heart chases,
My bittersweet ecstasies come to me here,
In these forbidden games that I play
V4
Everyone knows you belong to another,
Spinning your magic for him and no other,
Still, I've been content to be part of this fantasy,
Part of this game that I play.
Though it's forbidden and you'll love me never,
I'll keep my love hidden and love you forever,
Through countless eternities you will be mine,
In these forbidden games that I play.
V5
Everyone knows you belong to another,
Spinning your magic for him and no other,
Still, I've been content to be part of this fantasy,
Part of this game that I play.
Though it's forbidden and you'll love me never,
I'll keep my love hidden and love you forever,
Through countless eternities you will be mine,
In these forbidden games that I play.
Outro:
In these forbidden games that I play,
In these forbidden games that I play
