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

`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
If you want, no, you won`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 `til 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
If you want, no, you won`t

I can`t make you love me, no, if you don`t
Say you ain`t got love, you ain`t got love
You ain`t got loving

I can`t just make you love me
(I can`t make you love me)
I can`t, I can`t, I can`t, now
(I can`t do it)
I can`t, I can`t, I can`t, now
(I`ve tried my best)
I can`t, I can`t, I can`t, now
(But you put my heart to the test)

I can`t just make you love me
(Oh, I tried)
I can`t, I can`t, I can`t, now
(I tried to get through to you girl)
I can`t, I can`t, I can`t, now
(Oh, can`t you see that I`m crying out to you, girl?)
I can`t, I can`t, I can`t, now
I can`t just make you love me
(I can`t make you love me, oh, if you don`t)
