Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I always thought I could

Fall from a height

Land on my feet

Now I'm considering

Throwing in the towel

Admitting defeat

[Verse 2]

Just like the Four Tops

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

[Verse 3]

Nothing worth finding

Is easily found

Try as one might

That was supposed to sound

Very profound

It probably sounds dry

[Verse 4]

Just like the Four Tops

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

Myself myself myself

[Verse 5]

Just like the Four Tops

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I can't help myself

[Verse 6]

I felt I had to tell the world (Tell the world)

About you (About you)

I felt I had to tell the world (Tell the world)

About you (About you)

[Verse 7]

Yes, I felt I had to tell the world

Tell the world

Tell the world

(I can't help myself)

Tell the world

Tell the world

Tell the world about you, baby

(I can't help myself)

Tell the world

Tell the world

Come on, come on, come on, come on

(I can't help myself)

Ooh, come on, come on, come on, come on

(I can't help myself)

Ooh, come on, come on, come on, come on

(I can't help myself)

[Verse 8]

Tell the world

Tell the world

I can't help myself
