But I can't see anything, I only see the bigger picture

There is not human force that can prevent us from being together.

Ohhh, Jennifer, I will pimp my ride for y ou

Ohhh Jennifer, we will go to Pont Aeri together

And we'll fight for our forbidden love

Uooh Jennifer

and we'll fight for our forbidden love
