Make It Right
Jordan Hill Lyrics

Rhett Lawrence, Crystal Bernard, Suzie Benson
You've been on my mind
'Cause the last words that I said,
Felt so wrong and so unkind
'Cause you wanted her
And all I wanted was for love
To make us the way we were
What was said and what was done,
Is not the way of love
Just look what we've become

Feel me touch you tenderly
I'm making an apology
Please hold me close tonight
Make it right
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
Make it right

As you close your eyes
Can you hear me praying how
Can two lovers be so blind
It hurts me once again
Just to know that we were once so close
Won't ya help me understand
Can we forgive, can we compromise
Just believe that we can leave it all behind
It's better left if we feel good inside
One up our hearts and forget foolish pride

Feel me touch you tenderly
I'm making an apology
Please hold me close tonight
Make it right
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
Make it right

(Are we gonna)
Make it right
(Can you see)
See it in our eyes
(Can we do it)
Do you want to try
(Don't you know I)
Always love you baby
(Give a listen)
To the words I'm saying
(Tell you that it's)
Only love I'm makin'
(All you gotta)
Do is shed your pride

Feel me touch you tenderly
I'm making an apology
Please hold me close tonight
Make it right
Can we try to love once more




And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
