You Can't Make Love Lyrics - Don Henley

You can make money, you can make good friends 

You make mistakes and you can make amends 

You can make it easy when push comes to shove but 

You can't make love 

You can make advances, you can make big plans 

Plant sloppy kisses all over her hands 

You can tell her everything you're dreamin' of but 

You can't make love 

Love's a little word that's been kicked around 

Used too much, beaten down 

What in the world were you thinkin' of? 

You can't make love 

You can go through the motions with your magic spells 

Buy all the potions that Fifth Avenue sells 

You can try to call down all the stars above but 

You can't make love 

You can buy her diamonds, you can go out in style 

You can make a promise, you can walk down the aisle 

You can make a life for her that fits like a glove but 

You can' t make love, you can't make love, you can't make love 

What in the world are you thinkin' of boy? 

You can't make love 

Oh, it takes so long 

You gotta be strong before it's gone 

What in the world were you thinkin' of boy? 

You can't make love 

Oh, it takes so long 

You gotta be strong before it's gone 

What in the world were you thinkin' of boy? 

You can't make love 

Oh, it takes you so long 

You gotta be strong before it's gone 

What in the world were you thinkin' of boy? 

You can't make love 

Oh, it takes you so long 

You gotta be strong before it's gone
