Don’t Make Me Love You Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

[Verse 1]
Why you wanna rush into my life?
Don't you wanna stop and get to know me better?
We got all the time in the world tonight
And if we're meant to be, we'll be together, oh oh
Stay around, just slow it down
'Til we find out if we got what it takes

[Chorus]
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

[Verse 2]
Everything I know about you so far
Makes me believe that you're the one for me
But there's still a lot that's on my mind
And I need time before we go further, don't you see?
So hold me, fold me, but don't be
Thinking I don't want you too
[Chorus]
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

[Bridge]
It's better with a little bit of mystery
Let's wait till we have a bit of history
Behind ourselves, ooh-ohh, yeah
We don't got to be in such a rush
We can live for the moment if we trust
We'll be right here tomorrow, oh, yeah

[Break]
Don't make me love you, ooh, ooh ooh
Don't make me give you, ooh ooh
I need you to go, ooh, yeah
Don't make me love you, oh, oh, oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready ('til I'm ready)
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady (slow and steady)
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me love you, don't make me
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady (slow and steady, baby)
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready
Don't make me give you more than my kisses
I need you to go slow and steady
Don't make me love you 'til I'm ready

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
