Letra de
I Cant Make You Love Me

A música I Cant Make You Love Me foi escrita por Mike Reid e Allen Shamblin. Inspirada por um relato de tribunal sobre um homem que atirou na roda de um carro em que sua namorada estava, alegando que não poderia fazê-la amá-lo. Reid achou que a ideia encapsulava o conceito de não ser capaz de controlar o amor de outra pessoa e junto com Shamblin compôs a música. Bonnie Raitt gravou a música para seu álbum Luck of the Draw em 1991, tornando-se um ... dos mais destacados singles de sua carreira. Ver mais [+]

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.
