Lyrics

Where were you when I was fallin' down

Buzzin' around your heart?

Why'd you wait 'til I was movin' on

To come out of the dark

To say I'm what you need

And you could spend your life with me?

Well, I can't help you now

(Sorry, baby, no, I can't help you)

No, I can't help you now

(Keep away, I'm fallin' in love)

Maybe there was a time

But sometimes time runs out

And I can't help you now

It's been 40 days since I stopped countin' the days

Countin' the ways that I loved you

A good long while since I found a good enough reasons

To stop believin' that you are what I really want

And now that you do, baby, I don't

But I can't help you now

(Sorry, baby, no, I can't help you)

I can't help you now

(Keep away, I'm fallin' in love)

Maybe there was a time

But sometimes time runs out

And I can't help you now

Hey, hey

Ooh-ooh

Now you say I'm the one you need

And you could spend your life with me

But I can't help you

No, I can't help you now

(Sorry baby, no, I can't help you)

I can't help you now

(Keep away, I'm fallin' in love)

Baby, there was a time

And I wish I could somehow

But I can't help you

Can't help you now
