If I Could Love You Forever
Roy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
The-en suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you (still in love with you)

(Today I passed you on the street)
Today I passed you on the street
(And my heart fell at your feet)
And my heart fell at your feet

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

(Somebody else stood by your side)
Somebody else stood by your side
(And he looked so satisfied)
And, ya know, he looked so satisfied

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Oh, it hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold ya just the way I used to do
Oh-oh-oh-oh heaven only knows how much I miss, how much that I miss ya
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you





(Still in love with you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Can't Help It" express the feelings of a person who is still desperately in love with someone despite their past relationship. The song starts with the person passing the subject of their love on the street, and their heart dropping at their feet. Even though they see someone else standing by their side, they cannot help the fact that they are still in love with them. While brushing past them, a picture from the past slowly steals into their mind, giving them that old time feeling that they just cannot shake off. The person then talks about the pain they feel knowing that someone else's lips will kiss the one they love, and they miss them terribly.


This song beautifully captures the feelings of someone who cannot forget their past relationship and remains hopelessly in love with their former partner. It portrays the agony of seeing the person they love with someone else, and the emotional pain that comes with it. The lyrics are simple, yet powerful, as they express the sentiments of a person who is trying to come to terms with their love for another.


Line by Line Meaning

Today I passed you on the street
Encountered you while walking outside


And my heart fell at your feet
Felt emotional upon seeing you


I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I have no control over my feelings for you


Somebody else stood by your side
Someone accompanied you


And, ya know, he looked so satisfied
He appeared very content


Oh, it hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
I feel hurt and jealous at the thought of someone else being intimate with you


And hold ya just the way I used to do
Holding you the way I did before


Oh-oh-oh-oh heaven only knows how much I miss, how much that I miss ya
I miss you a lot, more than words can express


I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I am still in love with you and cannot control my emotions
