“… I Can’t Make This Work” is the 5th song off Can’t Lie To Love, as a response to “Who Says”.
“Who Says” is about his hope of making the relationship work (thus the name “Who Says”). While “… I Can’t Make This Work” is him losing hope in his relationship, and saying he can’t make this relationship...
[Intro]
Yeah, who says (Says), I can't make it work
(It work)
Though you do me dirt (So dirt)
My dawgs don't like you (They don't like you)
Against my better judgment
But I come back again
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse]
Woah (Ooh shawty ooh)
(Yeah, let me get this off my chest)
Uh, oh baby girl, uh, want you my girl, uh
But I'd be lying if I said I can make this work
I play with life, I played with God, I played with her
But I won't play with purpose no more
You leading me down the path of destruction
On my tippy toes, you want me then you don't
When I don't got love for myself, I'm comin' back for more, girl
Girl, this ain't no glamour, nah, this ain't to sound wavy
I got holes in my heart and they all so vacant
In the meanwhile, we looking for distractions
At the same time, I'm asking why I can't make this work
[Chorus]
Work, work, work, work, work, work, work
I tried it on my own, but I'm still alone, woah
God, I can't make this work
Work, work, work, work, work, work, work (Ah)
I tried it on my own, but I'm still alone, woah
God, it's not workin' (Workin', baby)
I'm hurting
