Lyrics

I can't help it
That's the way that I am
I can't help it
I don't know how to share
I tried to do the things I feel inside
Believe me, it's a real delight
Have you considered what it does to your soul?
You sell it when you play some other's role
Be yourself dear in what you choose to be
Don't let them change you
They need you, can't you see?
So try me, and maybe you'll like it 'cause I can't help it
That's the way that I am, I am
Have you considered what it does to your soul?
You sell it when you play some other's role
So, be yourself please, in what you choose to be
Don't let them change you
They need you can't you see?
So try me, and maybe you'll love me 'cause I can't help it
That's the way that I am, I am
I can't help it, that's the way that I am
I can't help it, that's the way that I am
