** chantal has said this is one of her favorite songs to sing (along with carole kings (you make me feel like a) natural woman), and she has called bonnie raitt, for whom this song was a hit in the early 90s, the godmother of singing-it-like-you-mean-it soul. the two women met during their overlapping stints with lilith fair 1998. these are the official lyrics and not accurate to the way chantal performs the song. **
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, dont patronize (dont patronize me)
Cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no, you wont
Cause I cant make you love me if you dont
Ill close my eyes, then I wont see
The love you dont feel when youre holding me
Morning will come and Ill do whats right
Just give me till then to give up this fight (and I will give up this fight)
Cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no, you wont
Cause I cant make you love me if you dont
