*I Can't Make You Love Me*

I have somehow lost track of day and time. Just now, for a frigging moment, I forgot that it's Saturday. I thought it was Friday. And then I thought it was still 8 o'clock but when I glanced at the computer clock, the thing said 9.30 so there ya go, I'm officially bonkers now. Oh what, that didn't make sense. Ack. *knocks forehead* Nevermind. Anyhow, I've fallen in love with this one particular Bonnie Raitt number. Kimberly Locke did a short rendition of it and my God, that woman can sing. Even George Michael did a cover so now I have 3 different versions to sing along to.



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, don't patronize..don't patronize

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I feel the power
But you won't..no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

I'll close my eyes then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I feel the power
But you won't..no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't



I'm so in love with this song.
