Why Don't They Let Us Fall in Love
Forbidden Love's Plea: Sonny & Cher's Unyielding Romance
Lyrics
Why do they say
Questioning the reason behind others' statements
That we're too young to go steady
Questioning why others claim they are too young to be in a committed relationship
Don't they believe it
Expressing disbelief in others' lack of acceptance
That I love you already
Asserting deep feelings of love despite objections
Gee the moon is shinning bright
Observing the brightness of the moon, a romantic setting
I wish that you'd come out tonight
Expressing a desire for the other person to come out tonight
Why don't they let us fall in love
Questioning societal restrictions on falling in love
Why don't they let us fall in love
Reiterating the desire to freely experience love
Why do they try to keep us apart
Questioning the motives behind attempts to keep them apart
Why do they laugh at
Questioning ridicule or mockery directed at their emotions
What I feel in my heart
Validating strong emotional feelings in the heart
Gee the moon is shinning bright
Repeating the observation of a romantically lit moon
I wish that you'd come out tonight
Expressing a desire for the other person's presence
Why don't they let us fall in love
Questioning societal constraints on love once again
Why don't they let us fall in love
Reiterating the desire for the freedom to fall in love
Why do they say
Repeating the query about societal judgment on their relationship's readiness
That we're too young to go steady
Reiterating the disbelief in societal judgments about their age and commitment
Don't they believe it
Expressing disbelief in the lack of belief regarding existing love
That I love you already
Asserting love already exists despite societal doubts
Gee the moon is shinning bright
Repeating the observation of the moon's brightness
I wish that you'd come out tonight
Reiterating the desire for the other person's company tonight
Why don't they let us fall in love
Reiterating the question about societal constraints on love
Why don't they let us fall in love
Reiterating the desire for freedom to fall in love
