Letra de
I Cant Make You Love Me

La canción I Cant Make You Love Me fue escrita por Mike Reid y Allen Shamblin. Inspirada por un reporte judicial sobre un hombre que disparó a las ruedas del coche de su novia, alegando que no podía hacerla amarlo. Reid pensó que la idea encapsulaba el concepto de no poder controlar el amor de otra persona y, junto con Shamblin, compuso la canción. Bonnie Raitt grabó la canción para su álbum Luck of the Draw en 1991, convirtiéndose en uno de los ... sencillos más destacados de su carrera. Ver más [+]

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 I'll 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 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.

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 I'll feel the power;
But you don't.
No, you don't.
Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't.
If you don't.
