Can't Help Myself
Dan Davidson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your love was 100 proof
I’d get all messed up on you
Get a real bad tattoo
I know it’s gunna hurt
But it’s gunna be worth it

If love was dollar and dimes
I’d spend it all on your time
Just spend another second with you
I don’t care if I’m broke
As long you know that

I’m all in
All my cards down on the table
Gunna love you till I aint able
I can’t help myself
Sink or swim
Every kiss you pull me deeper
The more I get the more I need ya
I can’t help myself
Oh
I can’t help myself

If love was a country song
I’d probably get the words all wrong
I’d sing it till my voice was gone
As long as your laughing
I’m cool with that

So I cross my heart no faking
Here’s a promise I ain’t breaking baby

I’m all in
All my cards down on the table
Gunna love you till I ain’t able
I can’t help myself
Sink or swim
Every kiss you pull me deeper
The more I get the more I need ya
I can’t help myself
Oh
I can’t help myself


I’m all in
All my cards down on the table
Gunna love you till I ain’t able
I can’t help myself
Sink or swim
Every kiss you pull me deeper
The more I get the more I need ya
I can’t help myself




Oh
I can’t help myself

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the singer is expressing their deep love and uncontrollable attraction towards someone. They start by comparing the intensity of their love to a strong alcoholic drink, implying that they would willingly lose themselves in this person. They acknowledge that this love may come with pain, but believe that the resulting happiness and fulfillment will make it all worthwhile.


The lyrics continue by suggesting that if love were represented by money, the singer would spend all their resources on spending time with this person. They emphasize that they don't care about the financial consequences as long as they can be with their loved one. This highlights their willingness to sacrifice material possessions for love.


The chorus further emphasizes the singer's complete commitment to this relationship. They declare that they are fully invested and have put all their cards on the table. They express their determination to love this person unconditionally, even if it means pushing themselves to their limits. They also emphasize that every kiss from their loved one deepens their attachment and increases their need for them, highlighting the addictive and consuming nature of their love.


The second verse mentions that if love were a country song, the singer would struggle to find the right words but would continue singing it until their voice gave out, as long as their loved one was happy. This demonstrates their willingness to put the other person's happiness above their own and their determination to make them smile.


Overall, these lyrics depict a love that is all-encompassing and overpowering. The singer is willing to give their all and make sacrifices for the person they love, regardless of the potential pain or financial consequences. Their love is portrayed as a force they cannot control, and they are helplessly drawn to this person, unable to resist their allure.
