She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it

First time that I saw your eyes
Boy, you looked right through me
Played it cool, but I knew you knew
That cupid hit me

You got me trippin' oh, stumblin' oh, flippin'oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love
You got me slippin' oh, stumblin' oh, sinkin' oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love, so in love

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it

Can't breathe when you touch my sleeve
Butterflies so crazy
Whoa now, think I'm goin' down
Friends don't know what's with me

You got me trippin' oh, stumblin' oh, flippin'oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love
You got me slippin' oh, stumblin' oh, sinkin' oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love, so in love

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it

You know this ain't the first time
This has happened to me, no
This love sick thing
I like serious relationships, you do?

Girl like me don't stay single for long, for sure
'Cos every time a boyfriend and I break up
My world is crushed and I'm all alone, oh
The love bug comes right back up and bites me, yeah

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe

She can't help it
The girl can't help it, oh babe
She can't help it

You got me trippin' oh, stumblin' oh, flippin'oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love
You got me slippin' oh, stumblin' oh, sinkin' oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love

You got me trippin' oh, stumblin' oh, flippin'oh, fumblin' oh
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love




You got me slippin' oh, stumblin' oh, sinkin' oh, fumblin' oh
