Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey
I'm over trying to hide these feelings
Hey
You could put your fears aside because
He don't understand baby like I can
Let's not hold back anymore

I can't help myself
I'll be your best mistake
There might be someone else
I want you anyway

Throw all your caution to the wind
Open the door and let me in
I can't help myself
Let's make your best mistake.
(I can't help myself, ohhh oh ohhhh)

Hey
I think we've had enough of waiting
What do you say
We make up for lost time
So just come over
I'll pull you closer
Let's not hold back anymore

I can't help myself
I'll be your best mistake
There might be someone else
I want you anyway

Throw all your caution to the wind
Open the door and let me in
I can't help myself
Let's make your best mistake
(I can't help myself ohhh, oh, ohhh I can't help myself ohhh)

We could run, we could run, we could run away
Baby come, baby come, baby come with me
Baby just you and I, ohhhh
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance tonight
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
We only got one life, ohhhh

I can't help myself
I'll be your best mistake
There might be someone else
I want you anyway

Throw all your caution to the wind
Open the door and let me in
I can't help myself
Let's make your best mistake

(I can't help myself ohh woahhh oh)
(I can't help myself ohh woahhh oh)




(I can't help myself ohh woahhh oh)
(I can't help myself ohh woahhh oh)
