I can't cease the river from running to the sea I can't cease the thunder from shouting so angrily I don't have the power to gather the seven seas When I can't cease the fire inside of me Painted like a tattoo Forbidden like a taboo This feeling I can't undo I don't know if you feel it too Painted like a tattoo Forbidden like a taboo The feeling I have for you I can't stop it if I wanted to I can't fight the fever from burning secretly I can't fight the hour from going without asking me I know not to shatter this desire easily Cause I can't fight the fire inside of me Painted like a tattoo Forbidden like a taboo This feeling I can't undo I don't know if you feel it too Painted like a tattoo Forbidden like a taboo My love is waiting for you What am I supposed to do Painted like a tattoo Forbidden like a taboo The feeling I have for you I can't stop it if I wanted to Just like a war against nature To never dream of you ever Wish I had the power to try The power to try I can't stop the fire inside of me Like a tattoo Like a tattoo This fire inside of me Painted like a tattoo This fire Like a tattoo Like a tattoo This fire inside of me Painted like a tattoo Painted
