Lesson on "You made me want to"

Lesson on "You made me want to"

Translate: "You made me want to love you" (its a lyric from a song). My first guess was "tu m'as fait que je veux t'aimer" but Google translated it as "tu m'as donné envie de t'aimer." I understand both, but Is my first guess wrong? And are there rules for when to use the expression "donner envie de"?

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

You made me love you. -- Tu m'as fait t'aimer.
You made me want to love you. -- Tu m'as donné envie de t'aimer.

Those are probably the most straightforward translations.
