I Can't Make You Love Me Lyrics

"This song was performed by Mr. Michael in his Mtv-unplugged show"

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

        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
        these final hours
        I will lay down my heart 
        I feel the power
        but you won't
        no, you won't
        And I can'tmake you love me
        if you don't

I 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
        these final hours
        I will lay down my heart
        I feel the power
        but you won't
        No, you won't
        and I can't make you love me
        if you don't

There ain't no use in you trying
if you don't love me            Baby!
ain't no use in you trying
if you don't
if you don't
if you don't
if you don't love me
there ain't nothing I can do
