Can't Help Myself
Eric Nam ft. Loco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
지치고 목이 말라
You know what I mean
깊은 바다에 빠진 느낌
숨 쉴 수가 없어
I think I'm in too deep
And baby, you
너만 보면 woo, girl
I just can't help myself
Can't wait no longer
이젠 못참겠어
Wanna be with you
You tonight, yeah
No more playin' cool, cool, you and I
목마른 내 맘을 적셔 alright
내게 숨을 불어 넣어줘 my life
Without you 의미가 없어 나를 받아줘
사랑하게 해줘
알면 안되는 비밀같이
내 맘을 숨겨야 해서 힘들었지
애써 안되는 표정관리
입을 열다가 또 입술만 깨물지
Because of you 말하고 싶어
And baby, you
너만 보면 woo, girl
I just can't help myself
Can't wait no longer
이젠 못참겠어, yeah
Wanna be with you
You tonight, yeah
No more playin' cool, cool, you and I
목마른 내 맘을 적셔 alright
내게 숨을 불어 넣어줘 my life
Being without you, girl
의미없어 난 너밖에 없어
Oh, no
사실 나는 참을성이 아주 많아
맞아본 적도 없는 등짝 스매싱
그러니까 내가 못참겠다고
말을 할 때는 꿀밤 대신
눈을 감아줬으면 해
니가 자꾸 나를 무례하게 해
태양은 뜨겁지만 나는 맨눈으로
너를 보고 땀을 흘릴래
I wanna be with you
You tonight, yeah
No more playin' cool
(No more playin') cool, you and I
Yes, you and I, yes, you and I
목마른 내 맘을 적셔 alright, baby
내게 숨을 불어 넣어줘 my life (my life)
Without you 의미가 없어
나를 받아줘
사랑하게 해줘
The song "못참겠어" by Eric Nam ft. Loco is about the feeling of being unable to resist someone's charm and wanting to be with them at all costs. The lyrics describe the overwhelming desire to be with the person despite feeling exhausted and drained like running in the scorching sun or being trapped in a deep sea where one cannot breathe. The longing is especially strong because the singer feels like they have to hide their feelings like a secret and maintain a cool exterior. However, they cannot help but want to confess and express their love to the person.
The chorus "Wanna be with you, you tonight, yeah" shows that the singer has reached their limit and cannot wait any longer to be with the person they love. They describe how being without them feels meaningless and ask the person to love them back. The bridge that says "I wanna be with you, you tonight, yeah No more playin' cool" highlights the shift in attitude, where the singer decides to abandon the act of hiding their feelings and want to be authentic and honest with the person they love. The song ends with "사랑하게 해줘" (please make me love), emphasizing the desire to be loved back.

Feeling exhausted and dehydrated under hot sun
지치고 목이 말라
Tired and thirsty
You know what I mean

I want to tell you because of you
And baby, you

알면 안되는 비밀같이
Like a secret that cannot be revealed
내 맘을 숨겨야 해서 힘들었지
It was hard to hide my feelings
애써 안되는 표정관리
Trying to manage my expression but it doesn't work
입을 열다가 또 입술만 깨물지
Open my mouth but end up biting my lips
Wanna be with you
I want to be with you
You tonight, yeah
With you tonight, yeah
No more playin' cool, cool, you and I
No longer acting cool, you and I
Being without you, girl
Being without you, girl
의미없어 난 너밖에 없어
It means nothing if you are not here, you are the only one for me
Oh, no
Oh, no
사실 나는 참을성이 아주 많아
In fact, I have a lot of patience
맞아본 적도 없는 등짝 스매싱
A never-been-tried back smashing
그러니까 내가 못참겠다고
So that's why I can't hold it any longer
말을 할 때는 꿀밤 대신
Instead of sweet words
눈을 감아줬으면 해
I wish you would close your eyes
니가 자꾸 나를 무례하게 해
You keep hurting me rudely
태양은 뜨겁지만 나는 맨눈으로
The sun is hot but I look at you with bare eyes
너를 보고 땀을 흘릴래
I will sweat when I look at you
Yes, you and I, yes, you and I
Yes, you and I, yes, you and I

I'm forever pressed that this underrated bop did not top charts left and right, go platinum, or garner at least 50 million views. This was truly iconic!
