Michael McDonald - You Can't Make It Love lyrics

rate me

(Michael McDonald And John Scott Sherrill)

You if anyone should know what time will tell

Not so long ago you taught me oh so well

Now your time has come

Someone took your place

(there's) no need to tell me that he's gone ('cause)

I can read it on your face

You learned that you could dream every night

You can try all you like

You can pray every day that it's enough

You can hope all you want

It's something to hang your faith on

But you can't make it love

There's no way love can grow

If only one is true

I would think that you should know

After all, I learned this from you

No matter how much one's in love

As long as one is lying

There ain't no amount of tears

There ain't no amount of trying

You learned that you could dream every night

You can try all you like

You can pray every day that it's enough

You can hope all you want

It's something to hang your faith on
