Can't Help Myself
Laura Marano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember just how we started
You swore you'd give me everything I wanted
Who'd a thought we'd end up in this lobby
I know it you know it

I remember just why we ended
You said we got more serious than you intended
Looks like you regret it
I know you know it

Small talk is sweet
You want your hands on me
So take my key
Cause it’s

Just another second till you're naked
Every single promise that you made, we can break em
Touch me baby
Missed me lately
I know, you know
That its

Just another minute till we're sorry
But you just can't help getting closer to my body
Touch me baby
Missed me lately
I know what I'm doing but

Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can't help myself (can’t help myself)
Can't help myself (can’t help myself)
I know what I’m doing but

Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
I know what I’m doing

I remember just how you want it
Your lips would tell a lie, but your body's always honest
Every word you say is ironic

Cause I know it, you know

Small talk is sweet (sweet)
You want your hands on me (on me)
So take my key (key)
Cause it’s

Just another second till you're naked
Every single promise that you made, we can break em
Touch me baby
Missed me lately
I know, you know
That its

Just another minute till we're sorry
But you just can't help getting closer to my body
Touch me baby
Missed me lately
I know what I'm doing but

Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can't help myself (can’t help myself)
Can't help myself (can’t help myself)
I know what I’m doing but

Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
I know what I’m doing

Didn’t know what you had when you had me
A symptom of your own immaturity
Thank you for this sweet, sweet memory
I know you know
That it’s

Just another second till you're naked
Every single promise that you made, we can break em
Touch me baby
Missed me lately
I know you know
That its (oh it’s)

Just another minute till we're sorry
But you just can't help getting closer to my body
Touch me baby
Missed me lately
I know what I'm doing but (what)

Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)
Can't help myself (can’t help myself)
Can't help myself (can’t help myself)

I know what I’m doing but (but)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself) (help my)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself) (help my)
Can’t help myself (can’t help myself)





I know what I’m doing baby
