U Make Me Wanna
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.

yeah, same as u.

Strange as it may seem when our mind hears the sounds of music can suddenly change our feelings in an instant into another dimension taking us to another place back in time then touches our heart making the memories come alive just once more amazing as it all seems lost for words only thoughts to linger with us until we leave this world ...

Good memories for sure...
I cried listening to this on the bus I was literally overwhelmed with emotions. Such a feel-good nostalgic vibe. Such a freaking nostalgia attack.... that hearing this after all of these years.

It gives me so many shivers... Just imagine yourself driving a car on a motorway at orangy sunset remembering your childhood and good music... Loneliness...

I guess I'm the only Sri Lankan who listens to the song right now.. Bit strange tho. Love from "lockdown" London. Be kind... xx

Lyrics

To start it off I know you know me,
To come to think of it, it was only last week
That I had a dream about us, oh
That's why I'm here, I'm this writing this song,
To tell the truth you know I've been hurting all along,
Someway let me know, you want me girl.
Every time you see me what do you see?
I feel like I'm a poor man and you're the queen,
Ouu baby, you're the only thing that I really need,
baby that's why.
You make me wanna call you in the middle of the night,
You make me wanna hold you till the morning light,
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall,
You make me wanna surrender my soul.
I know this is a feeling that I just can't fight,
You're the first and last thing on my mind,
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall,
You make me wanna surrender my soul.

Well I know that these feelings won't end now,
They'll just get stronger if I see you again,
Baby I'm tired of being friends.
I wanna know if you feel the same,
And could you tell me do you feel my pain?
Don't leave me in doubt.
Everytime you see me what do you see?
I feel like I'm a poor man and you're the queen,
Oh baby, you're the only thing that I really need baby that's why...
You make me wanna call you in the middle of the night,
You make me wanna hold you till the morning light,
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall,
You make me wanna surrender my soul.
I know this is a feeling that I just can't fight,
You're the first and last thing on my mind,
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall,
You make me wanna surrender my soul.
I'll take you home real quick
Sit you down on the couch,
Pour some Dom Perignon and hit the lights out,
Baby we can make sweet love.
Then we'll take it nice n slow,
I'm gonna touch you like you've never known before,
We're gonna make love ohoewow.
Cyou make me wanna call you in the middle of the night,
You make me wanna hold you till the morning light,
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall,
You make me wanna surrender my soul.
I know this is a feeling that I just can't fight,
You're the first and last thing on my mind,
You make me wanna fall
You make me wanna surrender my soul❤
