Super Diamond
I celebrated the milenium at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco listening to Super Diamond. Last night, G had a date with T and I went over to have cocktails with them at G’s house. After a martini, we put on Neil Diamond’s Kentucky Woman and I don’t know – we just started dancing. Girl, you’ll be a woman now. Cracklin Rosie. And then Bonnie Raitt came own singing “I can’t make you love me,” and G said “wait, wait, we have to hear this,” – she played it over and over and then she brought the laptop in the kitchen and turned it really loud and we three huddled by the kitchen table and listened to every word:
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, don’t patronize – don’t patronize me
Chorus: cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
cause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t
I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see
The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Chorus: cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
cause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t
