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 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 won't, no you won'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 CHORUS: 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 won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
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 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 won't, no you won'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 CHORUS: 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 won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
A canção foi gravada por Bonnie Raitt para o álbum Luck of the Draw, lançado em 1991.
Os compositores Mike Reid e Allen Shamblin criaram a música baseada em uma manchete de jornal sobre um homem bêbado que atirou no carro da namorada.
A inspiração direta para a letra veio da frase do réu quando interrogado pelo juiz: "You can't make a woman love you if she don't".
Em agosto de 2000, a revista Mojo elegeu a faixa como a 8ª melhor música de todos os tempos.
A publicação considerada a obra na posição #331 na lista das 500 Maiores Músicas de Todos os Tempos da revista Rolling Stone.
