Can't Make You Love Me
Britney Spears Lyrics

I'm just a girl with a crush on you
I am just an ordinary girl who has developed feelings of infatuation towards you.

Don't care about money
My attraction towards you is not based on your wealth or status.

It doesn't give me half the thrill
Money does not excite me as much as the thought of being with you.

To the thought of you, honey
Just thinking about you gives me joy and excitement.

So tell me that you want me still
Please assure me that you still have romantic feelings towards me.

If only I could trade the fancy cars
I would gladly give up all my luxurious possessions for a chance to be with you.

For a chance today, it's incomparable
Being with you is priceless and cannot be compared to anything else.

I might be sitting with the movie stars
Even though I have fame and success, being with you is more important to me than anything else.

Everybody say that I have it all
People often assume that I have everything I could want, but they do not know how I truly feel inside.

But I can't make you love me
Despite my strong feelings for you, I cannot force you to reciprocate those feelings.

Is it my life or the things I do?
I am unsure if the reason you do not love me back is because of who I am or the things that I do.

I have been through changes, yeah
I have experienced many changes in my life, but my feelings for you have remained the same.

But I'm still the girl you used to know
Despite my fame and success, I am still the same person you fell in love with before.

It's made me no different
My success has not changed me as a person or my feelings towards you.

So tell me why you had to go
Please explain to me why you left me and why you do not feel the same as you once did.

Just the thought of being close to you
Even just the idea of being close to you gives me immense joy and pleasure.

Should be happy with the life I live
I know that I should be grateful for the life I have, but my feelings towards you still remain.

And the things I do
This includes my career and my success.

Can't make you, make you love me baby
No matter how hard I try, I cannot force you to love me the same way I love you.

It's my life, what can I do?
I cannot change who I am or what I feel, so I do not know what else to do in this situation.

Can't make you love me, alright
Even though it hurts, I have to accept that you do not love me the way I love you.
