I Can't Help Myself
G. C. Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you stay closer to me, it's too much
I can't help myself
Trying to save my breath in this moment
The way that you look at me
I can't help myself
I always find it harder to breathWhen you stay closer to me, it's too much
I can't help myself
Trying to save my breath in this moment
The way that you look at me
I can't help myself
I always find it harder to breath
When you stay closer to me, it's too much
I can't help myself
Trying to save my breath in this moment
The way that you look at me
I can't help myself
I always find it harder to breath
When you stay closer to me, it's too much
I can't help myself
Trying to save my breath in this moment
The way that you look at me
I can't help myself
The lyrics to "I Can't Help Myself" by G. C. Cameron are a combination of hip hop and soul, with elements of funk and pop. The use of common phrases like "Whatcha talkin' bout Willis" and references to Tex-Mex food ("Tex-mex, don't mess with / Ranchilada slaw, when I dip my sauce") add a relatable and playful touch to the song. The lyrics also touch on the struggles of being an artist in the music industry, dealing with bandwidth and trying to stand out in a sea of competitors ("Every other voice knockin' on your door / When every other voice is louder than yours"). The repeating lines of "I can't help myself" suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to control one's own actions or thoughts.
