Help!
The Hullabaloo Singers & Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't help falling in love with you
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
But I can't help falling in love with you
Darling as it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you
As the river flows gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you
But I can't help falling in love with you
But I can't help falling in love with you
But I can't help falling in love with you
(But) I can't help falling in love with you
The Hullabaloo Singers & Orchestra's song "Help!" is a love ballad that speaks about the intense feelings of love that two people share. The song begins with the line "Wise men say only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you." This line explains how people often caution against rushing into something as intense as love, but no matter how wise this advice may be, the singer cannot help how they feel. The next line is a repetition of the same line and gives depth to their emotions.
The third line of the song is "Shall I stay, would it be a sin?" This line is a reflection on the consequences of staying in this love affair. The singer wonders whether they should stay or leave, as staying could lead to something that is considered a sin. The next line of the song is "But I can't help falling in love with you," further emphasising how the emotion is uncontrollable.
The next verse talks about how some things are meant to be and that the love is the same as a river that flows gently to the sea. The singers expresses how undeniably meant-to-be their connection is. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "I can't help falling in love with you" as a way to reinforce the uncontainable love they feel.
Overall, the "Help!" is a song about the overpowering nature of love and the depth of the emotions that come with it.
