One Love
Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't make you love me

I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
사랑하지 않는 너를 사랑한 걸까

많이 죽을 만큼 죽을 만큼 많이 사랑해
속이 시커멓게 시커멓게 속이 새까매
Love you forever
너밖에 없어
어쩔 수 없어

I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
사랑하지 않는 너를 사랑한 걸까

넌 멀리서 바라보는 별 같아
변치 않아 난 늘 미련하니까
I can't make you love me
You're my horizon
Forever

I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를




I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
사랑하지 않는 너를 사랑한 걸까

Overall Meaning

Blue's song "I Can't Make You Love Me" is a heart-wrenching ballad that expresses the agony of unrequited love. The chorus repeats the phrase "I can't make you love me," conveying the helplessness and frustration felt by the singer, who is in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way. The verses explore the intensity of the singer's feelings, as the lyrics describe the extent to which the singer loves this person, even if they don't reciprocate that love. The bridge of the song introduces the metaphor of the person being loved as a distant star, unchanging and out of reach. The song ends with a sense of longing and resignation, as the singer acknowledges that they can't force someone to love them.


One interesting aspect of this song is its origin: it was originally written and recorded by Bonnie Raitt in 1991. The song was written by Raitt's friend and frequent collaborator Mike Reid, along with lyricist Allen Shamblin. Raitt's version of the song is slower and more stripped-down than Blue's version, with just Raitt's voice and a piano accompaniment. Blue's version, on the other hand, features a fuller instrumental arrangement and a more pop-oriented sound.


Another noteworthy aspect of "I Can't Make You Love Me" is its popularity as a cover song. The song has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Adele, Bon Iver, and George Michael, among many others. Each of these artists brings their own interpretation and style to the song, but the emotional impact of the lyrics remains consistent.
