| Hear the voices whispering |
| Always watchin' every move we make. |
| Love is only black or white |
| And we know the chances that we take. |
| Afraid of what they’d do, |
| Afraid of what could happen if they knew. |
| Bout me and you. |
| Desperate lovers. |
| Gotta sneak way, |
| Gonna steal away again tonight, tonight. |
| Desperate lovers. |
| Gotta find a way, |
| Always gonna find a way to hold on tight. |
| I’d do anything to be with you, |
| Two shadows running through the night. |
| Desperate lovers. |
| It’s a wonder love can grow |
| When there’s so much anger, |
| So much fear around. |
| But somehow we found each other, |
| Even though we’re both from |
| Different side of town. |
| Don’t know what they’d do, i |
| Don’t know what would happen if they knew. |
| Bout me and you |
| (repeat chorus) |
| Spoken: |
| Maybe someday we can be, |
| Be together naturally, no pain, no pain. |
| Lovin' in the light of day, |
| Not afraid of what they’re gonna do or say. |
| Eyes that just won’t see |
| Till the time when our hearts can be free |
| Cause we must be. |
| (repeat chorus) |
