簡介
著名鄉村詞曲搭檔Mike Reid 和Allen Shamblin 共同創作了I Can't Make You Love Me，歌曲的靈感來自於Mike Reid看到新聞里說有個男人在醉酒之後朝他女友的汽車開槍被警察逮捕，在法庭上法官問酒醒後的他從中學到了什麼，他說:You can't make a woman love you if she don't!
歌詞
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
關掉燈光，鋪好床單
Turn down these voices inside my head
將腦海中思緒平靜下來
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
和我一起躺下，別對我說任何謊話
Just hold me close,
只要抱緊我
don't patronize,don't patronize me
別憐憫我，別憐憫我
Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
如果你不愛我，我無法強迫你
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
你無法強迫你的心去感知它不願意承受的事
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
在黑夜中，在這寂寞的時刻
I will lay down my heart and i'll feel the power
我會讓心靜下來，去感受那股力量
But you won't, no you won't
但你不會，你不會這么做
Cause i can't make you love me, if you don't...
如果你不愛我 我無法強迫你
I'll close my eyes, then i won't see
閉上雙眼 ，我就不會看見
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
當你抱著我的時候所感受不到的愛
Morning will come and i'll do what's right
清晨終將來到，我會作出正確的抉擇
Just give me till then to give up this fight
給我一點時間來放棄掙扎
And i will give up this fight
我一定會放棄掙扎
Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
如果你不愛我 我無法強迫你
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
你無法強迫你的心，去感受他不願意的事
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
在黑夜中，在這寂寞的時刻
I will lay down my heart and i'll feel the power
我會讓心靜下來，去感受那股力量
But you won't, no you won't
但你不會，你不會這么做
Cause i can't make you love me, if you don't...
如果你不愛我，我無法強迫你
