Lyrics

Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
Cuz I can't make u love me if u don't
I can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart (my heart) and I'll feel the power
But u won't, no, u won't
Cuz I can't make u love me if u don't

Do u?
Do u love me?
Look at me

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love u don't feel, when u're holding me (hold me)
Morning will come and I'll do what's right (do it right {x2})
Just give me 'til then 2 give up this fight
And I will, I will give up this fight
Oh, yes I will

Cuz I can't make u love me if u don't
I can't make your heart feel something it won't
Ah, don't u know here in the dark, in the dark baby, these final hours (here in
The dark)
I will lay down my heart (my heart) and I'll feel the power, oh yes I will
But u won't
Tell me why, tell me why u don't?

(I can't make u love me if u don't)
Come here, baby
(I can't make your heart feel something it won't)
Talk 2 me, tell me where u wanna be kissed
Talk 2 me, tell me how u want me 2 do this
In this bedroom/church, u can guess the offering

I offer u (my heart)
I offer u sexual relations (but u won't)
But u won't (u won't)
Tell me what's up baby?
Am I moving 2 fast?
Not only do I wanna be the first, I wanna be the last, the last
Is that so bad?
I.. I want 2.. u know

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna make u love me
(Do u love me?)
Come on baby, u can take it (my heart) (come on and take it)
It's real love - I wanna make it (i wanna)
But u won't love me, love me (but u won't)
U won't love me, baby
What's a man 2 do?
What is this man gonna do?

I can't make u love me if u don't
I want u 2 (love me) love me
I need u 2 (kiss me, yeah)
Oh darlin' (love me)
Love me {x5}

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close between your thighs
