I Can’t Make You Love Me (AIR Studios – 4AD/Jagjaguwar Session)

[Studio Chatter]
Bonnie Raitt cover, take four
Middle, Bonnie Raitt cover, take four
Up there, Bonnie Raitt cover, take four

[Verse 1: S. Carey]
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
And tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

[Chorus: S. Carey]
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Here in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
I feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't

[Verse 2: Justin Vernon]
I close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
And give me 'til then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

[Chorus: Justin Vernon]
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Ah, here in the dark
These final hours
And I will lay down my heart
I feel the power but you won't
No, you won't
I can't make you love me, ayy
I can't make you love me, darling
If you don't, if you don't
I can't make you love me, oh, oh
Hey
Ooo
