Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind

Helpless like a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you, yeah
It's getting better all the time

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no, no, no

Da-da-da-da-da-da-ah
Pa-da-da-da-da, yeah, yeah

Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you, yeah, yeah
Bringing sparkles to your eyes

Like a trip to heaven
Oh, heaven is no prize
And I'm so glad I found you, yeah
You're an angel in disguise, oh

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

I can't help it if I wanted to
I can't help it, no, it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

Da-da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da-da-da-da, yeah, yeah

Da-da-da-da

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

I can't help it if I wanted to (I can't help it, yo no lo puedo evitar)
I can't help it (por las nubes yo ando, por si me andas buscando)
I can't help it if I wanted to (no me hace falta nada más cuando yo te tengo a ti)
I can't help it (oh, perdido yo estaba, hasta que vi esa mirada y me enamoré)

I can't help it if I wanted to (ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh, yeah)
I can't help it (uhh, ahh, yeah)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Ahh, no no no no, ah (hey yeah)

(Da-da-da-da-da) like an angel in disguise
(Da-da-da-da-da) like a beatiuful sun, love of mine, yeah
(Da-da-da-da-da) ah-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
(Da-da-da-da-da) yeah, no, no, no




I can't help it, no, I can't help it, no, no, no
(Da-da-da-da-da)
