Can't Make You Love Me
Unrequited Passion: Britney's Quest for Love
Lyrics
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
I have feelings for you; I'm just a girl expressing a crush.
Don't care about money
Material wealth is not important to me.
It doesn't give me half the thrill
Money doesn't excite me as much as thinking about you does.
To the thought of you, honey
Expressing affectionate endearment.
So tell me that you want me still
Seeking reassurance that you still desire me.
If only I could trade the fancy cars
Willing to give up luxurious possessions for a chance with you.
For a chance today, it's incomparable
Today's opportunity with you is beyond compare.
I might be sitting with the movie stars
Even though I could be with celebrities, it's not fulfilling.
Everybody say that I have it all
Despite appearances, people think I have everything.
But I can't make you love me
Expressing inability to force someone to love.
Is it my life or the things I do?
Questioning if it's her lifestyle or actions causing the lack of love.
Can't make you love me
Reiterating the inability to make the person love her.
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
Reaffirming the crush despite challenges.
I have been through changes, yeah
Reflecting on personal growth but still the same person.
But I'm still the girl you used to know
Despite changes, she remains the person he once knew.
It's made me no different
Changes haven't made her fundamentally different.
So tell me why you had to go
Asking why the person left despite no significant change.
Oh baby, I will trade the fancy cars
Willing to give up luxury for a chance at love.
For a chance today, it's incomparable
Today's opportunity with you is beyond compare (repeated).
I might be sitting with the movie stars
Even though I could be with celebrities, it's not fulfilling (repeated).
Everybody say that I just have it all
Despite appearances, people think I have everything (repeated).
But I can't make you love me
Reiterating the inability to force someone to love (repeated).
Is it my life or the things I do?
Questioning if it's her lifestyle or actions causing the lack of love (repeated).
Can't make you love me
Reiterating the inability to make the person love her (repeated).
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
Reaffirming the crush despite challenges (repeated).
Just the thought of being close to you
Expressing the intense desire to be close to the person.
It's incomparable
The thought of being close to you is beyond compare.
Should be happy with the life I live
Recognizing that she should be happy with her current life.
And the things I do
Contentment with life and actions taken.
Seems like I have it all
Seemingly having everything, but still missing love.
Can't make you, make you love me baby
Emphasizing the impossibility of making someone love her.
It's my life, what can I do?
Accepting the reality of her life and choices.
Can't make you love me, alright
Reiterating the inability to make the person love her (repeated).
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
Reaffirming the crush despite challenges (repeated).
But I can't make you love me
Expressing inability to force someone to love (repeated).
Is it my life or the things I do?
Questioning if it's her lifestyle or actions causing the lack of love (repeated).
Can't make you love me
Reiterating the inability to make the person love her (repeated).
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
Reaffirming the crush despite challenges (repeated).
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
Emphasizing the continued presence of her feelings despite challenges.
