"Don't Tell Me Who To Love" Lyrics

It was 1966, they were wearing their we
She was black and he was white
And some people did not understand
That Judge said it wasn't legal, the preacher called it a sin
But they couldn't stop them because he loved her and she loved him

Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to kiss
Don't tell me that there's something wrong 'cause I feel like this
No one can see in my heart 'cause that should be enough
don't tell me, don't tell me "no," don't tell me who to love

Maybe you're in love today
And you've been making wedding plans
But there is someone in your way shouting things cause they don't understand
That Judge said it wasn't legal, the preacher called it a sin
Just remember before too long they'll be wrong again

Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to kiss
Don't tell me that there's something wrong 'cause I feel like this
No one can see in my heart 'cause that should be enough
don't tell me, don't tell me "no," don't tell me who to love

There will always be hatred, forces that condemn
Oh, but I believe that true love will make it in the end
