Batman: I'm not allowed to love Not allowed to fall It seems that after all Some rules must be unbroken
I'm not allowed to swoon Romanticize or croon The beauty of your eyes Must still remain unspoken
But my head will be unbowed I'm certainly no fool I'm no fool For I know I'll always be allowed To find exceptions To the rules
Catwoman: I'm not allowed to love Not amid career There's just so little time I can't afford to be wrong*
I'm not allowed to cry Tremble, whimper, sigh These signs of weakness are avoided I must be strong
But pessimism must be disavowed Life couldn't be so cruel Be so cruel And I know A girl must be allowed To find exceptions To the rules
(Instrumental)
Batman & Catwoman: But my head will be unbowed I'm certainly no fool I'm no fool For I know We'll always be allowed To find exceptions To the rules
Batman: Say what you will I'll hang on every word I'll hang on every letter But nothing's gonna change the truth My night is better Nothing's gonna change the truth My night is better......
* Alternate verse for pop and dance versions:
I'm not allowed to love Till they legalize it here The kind of love I need has been Forbidden so long
