You Can't Make a Heart Love Somebody

At a table for two with candlelight and wine

That diamond burning holes in his pocket

Thinking now’s the perfect time

When he popped the question he could see

The teardrops fill her eyes

She said I knew this was coming

And I’m sorry, but I hope you realise

You can’t make a heart love somebody

You can tell it what to do but it won’t listen at all

You can’t make a heart love somebody

You can lead a heart to love but you can’t make it fall

Then she reached for his hand and said I want you to know

I’ve done everything that I know of

To make the feeling roll

I’ve begged and I’ve pleaded with my heart

But there’s no getting through

My heart’s the only part of me

That’s not in love with you

You can’t make a heart love somebody

You can tell it what to do but it won’t listen at all

You can’t make a heart love somebody

You can lead a heart to love but you can’t make it fall

You can’t make a heart love somebody

You can tell it what to do but it won’t listen at all

You can’t make a heart love somebody

You can lead a heart to love but you can’t make it fall

You can lead a heart to love but you can’t make it fall
