[Verse 1]
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close and don't patronize
Don't patronize me
[Chorus]
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, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
I can't make you love me if you don't
[Verse 2]
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding mе
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til thеn, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
And you can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
Oh, but you won't
No, you won't
I can't make you love me
If you don't, if you don't
Ain't no use in trying, baby no
I can't make you love me
If you don't, if you don't
Ain't no use in trying, baby no
I Can’t Make You Love Me was written by Allen Shamblin & Mike Reid.
