Can't Help Myself
Emily Hearn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't have to buy me -- roses and fancy things
Baby all I'll ever need is to be your girl

Just be mine -- sit with me and drink wine
Give me your sweet time, I'll always be your girl

Because no matter what you do...
I can't help myself
I can't help myself from lovin' you
I can't help myself
I can't help myself from lovin' you

You must me magical, somethin' like a miracle
I've never felt this way before, I wanna be your girl

So take me -- anywhere you wanna be
I've got no plans to see except to be your girl

Because no matter what you do...
I can't help myself
I can't help myself from lovin' you
(oh, ohoh, oh oh oh)
I can't help myself
I can't help myself from lovin' you

You know I've tried, but I can't help it
You're like the morning when sunlight comes and fills up a room
I've got that feelin' of singin' to my favorite tune
You make my heart feel like it's brand new
I can't help myself from lovin' you

I can't help myself
I can't help myself from lovin' you
(oh, ohoh, oh oh oh)
I can't help myself
I can't help myself from lovin' you

I wanna be your girl
(doo doo doo, doo, dooo)
I wanna be your girl
oh, ohoh, I wanna be your girl
(doo doo doo, doo, dooo)




I wanna be your girl
I wanna be your girl
