At a table for two, with candle light and wine
That diamond burnin' holes in his pockets, thinkin' now's the perfect time
When he popped the question, he could see the teardrops fill her eyes
She said I knew this was comin' and I'm sorry, but I hope you realize
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 grow
I've begged and I've pleaded with my heart, but there's no gettin' 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 lead a heart to love, but you can't make it fall
