Lyrics
If I Could Just Make You Love Me
Marghi Allen
1978
I saw you last night and now I?m lost in a dream
You?ve got the most beautiful eyes I?ve ever seen
And I know I could do anything
If I could just make you love me
Don?t get me wrong
I don?t mean you no harm
Ain?t trying to cause you no great alarm
But if I could just hold you here in my arms
Well, that would surely set me free
Baby, can you hear me when I call
Just want you near me and that is all
And there ain?t no use in you trying to stall
Because my love is much to vast to contain
I said baby, you know it?s true
I love you crazy, you know I do
And if I could just get you to say that you love me too
That?s all that I would ever need.
Well, I could give you my heart,
I could give you my soul
All that?s going to do is to make me whole
What do I have to do to make you believe in me?
I saw you last night and now I?m lost in a dream
You?ve got the most beautiful eyes I?ve ever seen
And I know I could do anything
If I could just make you love me
