You can have great thoughts
But no one cares
You can dance around the house
In your underwear
You can write rhymes & poems too
You can do anything you want to do
But you can’t make ’em love you
No you can’t make ’em love you
You can’t make ’em love you
Not like you used to do
You can talk about the good old days
Gonna talk about ’em anyways
You can let a soft teardrop fill your jaundiced eye
You can tell ’em that you’ll never say goodbye
And you can roll up a paper and swat at a fly
You can slip off to sleep with an easy sigh
But you can’t make ’em love you
No you can’t make ’em love you
You can’t make ’em love you
Not like you used to do
