Lyrics

Oh-oh yeah
Oh-oh yeah
I can't help myself
Was looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind
Helpless as a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time
But I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
But I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
Love just makes me feel, feel so, so
Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you
Bringing sparkles to your eyes oh
Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
And I'm so glad I found you
You're an angel in disguise
But I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
Can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I just can't help myself, hmm
Oh-oh
Can't help it
