Jaws all drop at the candyshop when we walk in the store
It's a frightening display
Mothers hide their children's eyes and hurry toward the door
I don't even want to know the things that they will say
But they can't take our love away
We try to eat on Crawford Street on a summer afternoon
We're just met with cold dismay
The owner storms the table and he takes away my spoon, and says
"We're not some kind of new cafe
Where freaks like you are on display"
But he can't take our love away
Whoever said that love is blind, didn't understand mankind
What he really meant to say, was love can't see... shades of grey
The fat old boys in Washington, they like to kill our fun fun fun
Man, they sure don't like to play
They care more about the bedroom than they do about the boardroom
That's the price we gotta pay
But they can't take our love away
