You Can't Make A Heart Love Somebody Lyrics

Artist: George Strait

At a table for two
With candlelight 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

Chorus: 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 feelin' 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'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.

Rejection is the beginning of wisdom. Until we make ourselves vulnerable to others' reproof, we truly haven't lived. I can understand a fully mature George Strait composing this song; I can envision an Emmy Lou Harris relating to him the position of her heart; I couldn't possibly invent a scenario where a Taylor Swift could write this song. Real country music comes up from the wellspring of emotional pain and suffering. George Strait and George Jones are the architects of real music that resonates with the soul and puts us in a position of being connected with things eternal. The title "You Can't Make A Heart Love Somebody" could itself be a synopsis for life lived out on the end of a limb - where it really counts!
