Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm, yeah
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked, we would talkAnd I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Mmm-mm, oh no
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I've got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I've never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving
I think you and I should stay the same
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, soCome feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Mmm-mm mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm-mm mm-mm
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?
I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Oh oh, myself
Mmm-mm-mm mm
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Oh, oh, oh
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm mm-mm
Mmm-mm

Line by Line Meaning
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
I understand that appearances can be misleading
But I know I saw a light in you
But I recognized a special quality in you
And as we walked we would talk
And as we spent time together, we had many conversations
And I didn't say half the things I wanted to
And I had so much more to say to you than I actually expressed
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
Out of all the other girls vying for your attention
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
I will be there for you even when the situation is difficult or unpleasant
Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing
Hey Stephen, you have me thinking that I may not have to be alone anymore
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
I can't control how I feel about you, especially since I find you so angelic
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
I can't resist the desire to kiss you, even in inclement weather
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Experience the enchantment that I've been feeling ever since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help it if my feelings for you exclude anyone else
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
Hey Stephen, I've been suppressing this emotion for some time now
So I've got some things to say to you
So there are some things that I need to tell you
I've seen it all, so I thought
I thought I had experienced everything there was to see
But I've never seen nobody shine the way you do
But I've never seen anyone sparkle the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
The way you move, speak, and address me
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
It's lovely and amazing, and I never want you to change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving
Hey Stephen, why do people always abandon others?
I think you and I should stay the same
I think you and I should maintain the status quo
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
As the street lights are being turned down, I realize how perfect you are for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
Why aren't you here with me tonight?
I'm waiting alone now so come on and come out
I'm waiting here by myself, so please come out and join me
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Embrace me and illuminate my world
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Hey Stephen, I could provide you with numerous reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
Why I should be the one you select
All those other girls, well they're beautiful
All those other girls are indeed stunning
But would they write a song for you?
But would they express their feelings through music for you?
I can't help myself
I am powerless to resist my emotions
