Lyrics

we never dated

You were clever
Knew when to deliver your lines
And make it seem like you weren't that bright
You were better
In every way by design
You were too good for a man's confines
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
You are a pretty one
Nice to romanticize
But you don't make yourself easy to like
You like to have your fun
You dance around the line
Of what is wrong and what is right
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
I wish nothing but the best for you
But I hope who's next sees the rest of you
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?
Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
How come we never even dated
But I still find myself thinking of you daily?

Why do you always leave me aching
When you were never mine for the taking?
I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
Babe, I can't make you love me
No, I can't make you love me
