“Don’t Make Me Love U” Lyrics ^[4]
Song by Lizzo:

Verse 1
Oh, here we go
Playing with my feelings, playing with my soul
But I can’t let you go, uh
I just wanna be wanted and feel beautiful

Pre-Chorus
You better know what you want (Ooh-woah)
If it ain’t me

Chorus
Don’t make me love you (Oh)
Don’t make my heart beat outta my chest
Don’t make me want you (Oh)
If you just want something else
Don’t you bullshit me, baby (Oh)
If this ain’t it, just tell me tonight
Don’t make me love you (Oh)
If you just gon’ change your mind
Don’t waste my time

Post-Chorus
Hey, hey

Verse 2
I’m going on a drive
To give you a couple of minutes to make up your mind
Well, baby, I’ll be fine, yeah
‘Cause I’m a big fine woman, don’t lose your place in line

Pre-Chorus
If you don’t know what you want (Ooh-woah)
Let me be free

Chorus
Don’t make me love you (Oh)
Don’t make my heart beat outta my chest
Don’t make me want you (Oh)
If you just want something else
Don’t you bullshit me, baby (Oh)
If this ain’t it, just tell me tonight
Don’t make me love you (Oh)
If you just gon’ change your mind
Don’t waste my time

Bridge
You’re steady sleeping on me
Don’t you sleep on me
I’m fighting for us, but you just wanna fight
Don’t do me wrong, please, don’t prove me right
If you don’t want me by the end of the night
I’m moving on with my life

Chorus
Don’t make me love you (Oh)
Don’t make my heart beat outta my chest
Don’t make me want you (Oh)
If you just want something else
Don’t you bullshit me, baby (Oh)
If this ain’t it, just tell me tonight
Don’t make me walk through that door, I’ve been there before (Oh)
If you just gonna change your mind
Don’t waste my time
Outro
Don’t waste my time
