I Can't Make You Love Me

Bonnie Raitt · The Best of Bonnie Raitt on Capitol 1989-2003 [2003]

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;

Don't patronize.



Don't patronize me.



Chorus:

'Cuz 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.

'Cuz I can't make you love me

If you don't.



I'll 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;

Just give me till then

To give up this fight.



And I will give up this fight.



Chorus (1x)
