For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

Can't Help Myself
The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much you mean to me
I think you wouldn't understand it
So I'll wait, I'll wait
Until this day comes
When you will understand me
But I can't help myself
I am going crazy
I cannot stop myself
Cannot control myself
I am going crazy
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
Oh, I cannot change it
I'm sure not making it
One big hell of a fuss
I cannot turn my back
I've got to face the fact
Life without you is hazy
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
Kiss me, thrill me, don't say good bye
Hug me, love me, don't say goodbye
Oh-uh-oh-hu-oh-ho
Don't say goodbye
Oh but I can't help myself
I can't stop myself
I am going crazy
I cannot turn my back
I've got to face the fact
Life without you is hazy
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
Oh-uh-oh, oh-ho
Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Kiss me goodbye
The Kelly Family's song "Can't Help Myself" is a passionate love song about not being able to control one's feelings for someone they love. The first two lines express the intensity of the singer's emotions towards their lover, but also their fear of not being understood by them. They wait for the day that their lover will finally understand them. However, the chorus reveals the singer’s overwhelming feelings towards the lover as they express how they can't help losing control and going crazy when they think of them. They can’t stop thinking about their lover, and they want to be with them and talk to them.
The singer tries to let go of their feelings, but this only reveals how much they need their lover. They cannot turn their back on them, and life without them is hazy. The urgency of the singer's emotions is emphasized in lines like, "Kiss me, thrill me, don't say goodbye," as they plead with their lover not to leave them. However, the song ends with the acknowledgment that the singer cannot help themselves and that they are going crazy because they cannot control their love for their partner.
Overall, "Can't Help Myself" is a profound and poignant love song that beautifully captures the intensity and depth of emotions felt when one truly loves someone else.

Thank you for uploading and continuing to upload all of your music videos in this superb quality! Your amazing music and artistry needs to be heard and seen forever! Thank you for being an important part of my childhood in the 90's! Your songs saw me through some tough moments and to this day, almost not a single day passes without signing one of your songs in my house. I was fortunate enough to see you all sing live when you came in my town 20 years ago in 2002 (Brasov, Romania - at the Golden Deer festival). I was 16 and I will never forget that day, especially when Maite sang from the historic fountain in the square, next to the stage. I couldn't believe that the band whose songs I sang each day as a child was there, in front of my eyes. Thank you again, for many beloved memories. May you all be blessed!
