You Can’t Squeeze Water From A Stone

You can’t squeeze water from a stone.

No, you can’t squeeze water from a stone.

You know that even Moses tried.

Before he left this earth he cried that

You can’t squeeze water from a stone.

 

You can’t make people be your friend.

No, you can’t make some people be your friend.

You can offer them your hand

And hope that they will understand,

But you can’t make people be your friend.

 

And you can’t make people love you too.

No, you can’t make some people love you too.

Offer them your heart,

But it just may fall apart.

No, you can’t make some people love you too.

 

You can try to love them anyway.

Yes, you can try to love them anyway.

It’s the hardest thing you’ll do,

But if your love is true

You will try to love them anyway.

 

But you can’t squeeze water from a stone.

No, you can’t squeeze water from a stone.

Even Moses tried.

Before he left this earth he cried that

You can’t squeeze water from a stone.
