"teach you to love me" lyrics

Can't expect a boy to know the way around your mind
If you don't tell him what you like
Can't expect a boy to know the recipe to
All of your unspoken desires
But it feels so insincere
To receive my wishes by command
Yeah, it feels so insincere
Being taken on the dates that I planned

Can't teach you to love me
It's too far above me
You gotta know it from the start
Can't teach you to love me
'Cause it feels rather funny
When it's not coming from the heart

Does it feel like labor?
Has it become a second nature?
Like a chore that you're beginning to resent
'Cause it's almost like you do it all
Just for my approval
Not because your love is fizzing over the edge
Yeah, it feels so insincere
Tryna fit you in the mold that I desire
Yeah, it feels so insincere
'Cause you deserve to be adored
The way you're wired

Can't teach you to love me
It's too far above me
You gotta know it from the start, oh
Can't teach you to love me
'Cause it feels rather funny
To try and rearrange your heart

If it was right, wouldn't we know?
We shouldn't hide what's meant to show
And I can't force-feed when it don't stand on it's own

Can't teach you to love me
It's too far above me
It's out of my control, ah
