You can't make somebody love you,
You can't make somebody care
No matter how you try
In the end you're still gonna cry
If he's just ain't there
I could hold her in my arms
And it make me feel so fine
But it hurts me all the same
When she call out a name and it ain't mine
You can't make somebody love you,
You can't make somebody care
No matter how you try
In the end you're still gonna cry
If he's just ain't there
Three long years I call her darling
Three long years slipped away
Then her man come back again
She up and run to him
Like it ain't been a day
You can't make somebody love you,
You can't make somebody care
No matter how you try
In the end you're still gonna cry
If he's just ain't there
