I Can't Make You Love Me

performed by Bonnie Raitt
written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin

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

'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, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and feel the power
But you don't, no you don't
'cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I wont see
The love you don't feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do whats' right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

'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, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and feel the power
But you don't, no you don't
'cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
