Nina Simone - Forbidden Fruit lyrics

Oscar brown jr

Eve and adam had a garden everything was great

Till one day a boy says pardon miss my name is snake

See that apple over yonder if you'll take a bite

You and adam both are bound to have some fun tonight

Go on and eat forbidden fruit

It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit

It's quite a treat forbidden fruit

Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it

The lord had said in the beginning everything is free

Except that apple that leads to sinning so let that apple be

But eve got tempted so she tried it and as all chicks do

Teaser her man till he decided he'd just try some too

Go on and eat forbidden fruit

It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit

It's quite a treat forbidden fruit

Go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted

I hate to tell you all what followed the lord was most upset

Saw them making love and hollered what have you to add

And when they made a full confession the lord said hm I see

I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson about not minding me

Go on and eat forbidden fruit

It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit

It's quite a treat forbidden fruit

You're all indebted now you gonna get it

The lord made eve adam's madam have his kids and all

Placed some labour laws on adam and he made the snake to fall

Ever since the days of eden folks been sinful my

Nowadays they're even eating apples in their pie

Go on and eat forbidden fruit

It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit

It's quite a treat forbidden fruit

Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it

Oh go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted

You always did it now you'll gonna get it

Forbidden fruit
