I can reach the heavens above
I can right what is wrong
I can sing just any song
I can dance, I can fly
And touch the rainbow in the sky
I can be your good friend
I can love you, until the end
What took you so long to make me feel
How lucky I am 'coz I am free
Free to do the things I wanna do
What took you so long to make me feel
I can give love, a love so real
What took you so long to let me knowthat
I can live, I can love
I can reach the heavens above
I can right what is wrong
I can sing just any song
I can dance, I can fly
And touch the rainbow in the sky
I can be your good friend
I can love you, until the end
What took you so long to make me cry
So I will know the reasons why
I'm so lucky I can smile
I didn't know this for a while
I can live, I can love
I can reach the heavens above
I can right what is wrong
I can sing just any song
I can dance, I can fly
And touch the rainbow in the sky
I can be your good friend
I can love you, until the end
In Regine Velasquez's song "I Can't Help It," the singer confesses her love and dependency on someone. The first stanza establishes her foolishness in dedicating herself to this person, despite her gendered transformation from a boy to a man. She acknowledges that this person is the reason she does everything she does and wonders if it's all a waste of time, knowing they will eventually leave her. However, the chorus, "But I can't help it," reveals her powerlessness in controlling her attachment to this person. She cannot survive without thinking about them every moment, every day, every night, and love is her only remedy that takes away her lonely days and makes every day for them together.
The second stanza repeats the sentiment that this person is the heart of it all, and she still questions whether she is wasting her time hanging around, knowing they could leave. However, she cannot help herself; this person is the breath she takes, and she is in love with them. The chorus repeats with a slight variation: "Giving me a chance to go on believing," recognizing that her love for this person is what keeps her going.
Overall, "I Can't Help It" is a heartfelt declaration of love and dependence that is relatable for many people who have felt powerless in the face of love. The song seems to encourage people to continue to believe in love even if they may be hurt in the process.
