I Can't Make You Love Me
Carol Bailey Lyrics

Don't you know you're the one
You have the power to make me happy and take me to paradise.

Who can take me to paradise
You have the ability to make my life feel like paradise.

Can you take by the hand
Can you guide me and show me the way.

And you know it'll be alright
And you know everything will be okay if we stick together.

If you stand by my side
If you support me and are there for me, no matter what.

That you know that I'll survive
You know that I will be able to overcome any obstacles with your help.

Now you take me away
Now you transport me to a better place and a happier state of mind.

And you know
And you understand how I feel.

That is time to close your eyes
It's time to let go of everything and just relax.

Now I wanna change your world
I want to be the one to make your life better and to have a positive impact on you.

Make me wanna be the one
I want to be the person you can't imagine living without.

Keep me in your mind
Please don't forget about me and the moments we shared together.

Don't ask me why
Please don't question why I feel this way or why I want to be with you.

I don't wanna be the one
I don't want to be just another person who loves you, I want to be special to you.

Who could love you just for fun
I don't want to be someone who loves you for a short time or just for fun.

Keep me in your open mind
Keep your mind open to the idea of us being together and let yourself fall in love with me.

I can't make you love me the way I do
I can't force you to love me as deeply as I love you.

I can't make you love me like I always do (2x)
I can't make you love me as much as I do, no matter how hard I try.

Can you feel everyday
Can you feel the love I have for you every single day?

All the love that I keep inside
All the love that I'm holding back for you.

Let me take you by the hand
Let me guide you and show you how much I care for you.

And we'll fly to paradise
And we'll experience the happiness and joy that comes with being together.

I'll show you the way
I'll take the lead and show you what it's like to be with someone who cares for you deeply.

And I know it would be alright
And I know that everything will work out and be okay if we're together.

If you live in my dreams
If you can become a part of my dreams and my ideal future.

All I know that is time to come alive
Now is the time for us to start living and experiencing all that life has to offer, together.

Now I know that you can keep me in paradise
Now I know that you have the ability to make me feel happy and complete.

Now it's time for you to show what you feel inside
Now it's time for you to show me you feel the same way that I do.

I'm sure your mind is blown right through the stars
I'm sure that you're also feeling incredibly happy and in love right now.

But I know I love you just the way you are (2x)
No matter what, I love you for who you are, and I always will.
