From the recording I Can’t Make You Love Me
This is the first of many pure Country songs written recently by Mark. In the style of the early Eagles, this one seems to be crying out for a cover. Produced by Andy Wahlberg and Mark Colgan.
Lyrics
I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME
Livin' life, wastin' time
Cost a fortune to make you mine
Can't blame you in any way
'Cos you gotta help yourself today
And I can't make you love me
You can take your love away
You can't help but have your reasons
Anyway
You're leaving and I don't know why
Time to say goodbye
Don't know where you're goin' now
Doesn't matter anyhow
Well I know you can do no wrong
And you'll be happy before too long
Not like me 'cos you know it's true
I can love nobody but you
I can't make you love me
You can take your love away
You can't help but have your reasons
Anyway
I'm ready for the lonesome time
When you've gone away
God knows what I'm gonna do
When I don't have you
'Cos I can't make you love me
Gonna take your love away
I can't make you love me
Nothin' else that I can say
