You Can't Make Love Lyrics


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 loveYou 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 loveLove'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 loveYou 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 loveYou 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 loveWhat in the world are you thinkin' of boy?
You can't make loveOh, 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 loveOh, 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 loveOh, 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 loveOh, it takes you so long
You gotta be strong before it's gone

Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
