You Can't Make It Love

By michael mcdonald and john scott sherrill You if anyone should know what time will tell Not so long ago you taught me oh so well Now your time has come Someone took your place (there's) no need to tell me that he's gone (¡®cause) I can read it on your face Chorus: You learned that you could dream every night You can try all you like You can pray every day that it's enough You can hope all you want It's something to hang your faith on But you can't make it love There's no way love can grow If only one is true I would think that you should know After all, I learned this from you No matter how much one's in love As long as one is lying There ain't no amount of tears There ain't no amount of trying Chorus: You learned that you could dream every night You can try all you like You can pray every day that it's enough You can hope all you want It's something to hang your faith on But you can't make it love
