Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were clever
Knew when to deliver your lines
And make it seem like you weren't that bright
[Verse 2]
You were better
In every way by design
You were too good for a man's confine
[Chorus]
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
[Refrain]
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
[Verse 3]
You are a pretty one
Nice to romanticize
But you don't make yourself easy to like
[Verse 4]
You like to have your fun
You dance around the line
Of what is wrong and what is right
[Chorus]
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
[Refrain]
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
[Bridge]
I wish nothing but the best for you
But I hope who's next sees the rest of you
[Chorus]
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
[Chorus]
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
[Outro]
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
