  • You were clever, knew when to deliver your lines
    And make it seem like you weren't that bright
    You were better in every way by design
    You were too good for a man's confine

    How come we never even dated
    But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
    Why do you always leave me achin'
    When you were never mine for the takin'?

    I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    Babe, I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    Babe, I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me

    You are a pretty one, nice to romanticize
    But you don't make yourself easy to like
    You like to have your fun, you dance around the line
    Of what is wrong and what is right

    How come we never even dated
    But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
    Why do you always leave me achin'
    When you were never mine for the takin'?

    I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    Babe, I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    Babe, I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me

    I wish nothing but the best for you
    But I hope who's next sees the rest of you

    How come we never even dated
    But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
    (Still find myself thinking of you)
    Why do you always leave me achin'
    When you were never mine for the takin'?
    (You were neve mine for the takin')
    How come we never even dated
    But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
    (Still find myself thinking of you)
    Why do you always leave me achin'
    When you were never mine for the takin'?

    I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me
    Babe, I can't make you love me
    No, I can't make you love me Writer/s: Shane Boose
