[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

How come we never even dated

But I still find myself thinkin' of you daily?

Why do you always leave me achin'

When you were never mine for the takin'?

[Post-Chorus]

I can't make you lovе me

No, I can't make you love mе

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

How come we never even dated

But I still find myself thinkin' of you daily?

Why do you always leave me achin'

When you were never mine for the takin'?

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

I wish nothing but the best for you (Ooh)

But I hope who's next sees the rest of you (Oh)

[Chorus]

How come we never even dated

But I still find myself thinkin' of you daily? (Still find myself thinkin' of you)

Why do you always leave me achin'

When you were never mine for the takin'? (When you were never mine for the takin'?)

How come we never even dated

But I still find myself thinkin’ of you daily? (Still find myself thinking of you)

Why do you always leave me achin'

When you were never mine for the takin'?

[Outro]

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
