I Can’t Make You Love Me 

The third song on Bonnie Raitt’s Grammy-winning album from 1991, Luck of the Draw. Written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin. Why Bruce Hornsby is not in this frame, I don’t know. Those are his chords and what I know of his sentiment.

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

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel somethin' 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 won't, no you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

[Verse 2]

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see

The love you don't feel when you're holdin' me

Mornin' 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

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel somethin' 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 won't, no you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Don't try baby

Ain't no use in you tryin', baby
