Can't Make You Love Me
By Britney Spears
Sam's POV
I'm just a girl with a crush on you.
Don't care about money.
It doesn't give me half the thrill
To the thought of you, honey.
So tell me that you want me still.
I love you. I have since 9th grade when we kissed for the first time. We finally got together towards the end of 10th grade, and we've been together since. But once we graduated and Carly made it as an actress and I made it as a comedian, things were different. Strained, if you will. I miss the way things were. I don't want things to feel different between us just because of my work. Do you still love me?
If only I could trade the fancy cars
For the chance today,
It's incomparable.
I might be sitting with the movie stars.
Everybody says that I have it all.
It looks like I have a dream life. I wished to one day get out of my mother's house and make it on my own, and I really did. But if I had the chance, I'd throw it all away if it would keep you here.
But I can't make you love me.
Is it my life or the things I do?
I can't make you love me.
I'm just a girl with a crush on you.
I wonder how much you really care about me if I can't make you stay. But you don't want to. I can't force you to stay, but I still love you, and that should be enough.
I have been through changes,
But I'm still the girl you used to know.
It's made me no different,
So tell me why you had to go.
We're still the same Sam and Freddie we've always been. I still have butterflies when you kiss me, and it takes me back to the fire escape where we first kissed and the mental hospital where we became a couple. You still make me laugh and feel like the happiest girl in the world. Only our surroundings are different. Please, don't do this.
Just the thought of being close to you.
It's incomparable.
Should be happy with the life I live
And the things I do.
Seems like I have it all.
I love my career and what I do for a living, but none of it means anything if I don't have you to share it with. I love you. Please stay here with me.
Can't make you, make you love me, baby.
It's my life, what can I do?
I can't make you love me.
I'm just a girl with a crush on you.
Can't make you love me.
Is it my life or the things I do?
I can't make you love me.
I'm just a girl with a crush on you.
I'm just a girl with a crush on you.
