Knew a young girl in my highschool years. Never found herself short on tears
Til she found someone her heart could beat for
Then one day she thought she'd come clean. Without sounding like a drama queen
Tell the one she loved just how she felt for her
And her love said you must be crazy now, you know that we're both girls
Further more you know I'm your best friend
And her love said I may be crazy but your also my whole world
And my love for you could never find an end
So they started out rendezvous, weekend nights and after school
Studying and making up routine
And they loved to kiss and hold each other, always missing one another
Find the places other people have never seen
But the eyes of the law they were on top of their game
Surprise, surprise the folks they don't approve
And when the kids at school caught word of it they started calling names
Except for the ones that thought it was pretty cool
Take my hand, living in an outlaw love
The only one you're thinking of is the one that you're holding in your arms
Yeah when your love's outside the law, there ain't nobody else at all
Didn't mean no disrespect, didn't mean no harm
They were just trying to follow their hearts
Like they were told from the very start
I was friendly with a kid who never dug school
Saw right through the rhymes and rules
He was every schoolgirl's secret crush
So he opted for the silver screen
Living out the American dream
Everything that he had didn't add up to much
Til he ran into a little sweetheart who was heading his way
Said your the prettiest girl I've ever seen
She said hey I think I like you when you're heading my way
Then again I'm only seventeen
Take my hand, living in an outlaw love
The only one you're thinking of is the one that you're holding in your arms
Yeah when your love's outside the law, there ain't nobody else at all
Didn't mean no disrespect, didn't mean no harm
They were just trying to follow their hearts
Like they were told from the very start
Knew a young girl with a ring on her finger
Loved her fiance and everything that he'd bring her
Was great but he never listened to a word she said
And it drove her stark crazy, sad and hurt
Started making eyes with the guy at work
And everything he said resounded in her head
When the rings came off you know the harshest words were spoke
Prayers were offered up to make it all alright
Families hung their heads and young dreams were broken
But the young lovers whispered on the telephone each night
I love you too, living in an outlaw love
The only one you're thinking of is the one that you're holding in your arms
Yeah when your love's outside the law, there ain't nobody else at all
Didn't mean no disrespect, didn't mean no harm
They were just trying to follow their hearts
Like they were told from the very start
And if following your heart should ever lead you astray
Then why so many people got so many things to say?
C'est la vie
ILL FINISH IT LATER
