I'm a gangster of love, but baby that's what you made me
for a natural human desire, you can't supress
when the law is too strict, one might have the feeling he can't breathe
when the fence is too high, a hole makes your flight a success

don't stash me away, like something you make no use of
don't let spiderwebs and dust be, our love's last coat
have no fear of the water, you might have to jump in
it may not be clean, but it's not poisened by soap

(Chorus):
legalize love � express yourself
legalize love � don't put it on a shelf
legalize love � baby help yourself
legalize love

what are you saving up, your qualities for
what precious target, makes you pay this price
you are no bounty, this is to be your harvest
accept your luck, before it slips away, if you're wise

your skin looks soft, every viewer has to admit
but it's hard like a shell, I regret to say
it's tough enough to face the wind and water
but every shell will open up, one day
