I Can't Control Myself
Troggs (The) Lyrics

Oh no! Baba bababa baba ba ba
Expressing a sudden realization of an emotional and physical reaction towards the subject.

Baba bababa baba baba
Continuing the same expression from the previous line.

I can't stand still 'cos you've got me goin'
You have aroused my senses and moved me emotionally, causing me to feel a strong desire to be with you.

Baba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Repeating the same sound as a way of emphasizing the previous line.

Your slacks are low and your hips are shown'
Your clothing choice accentuates your figure in a way that captivates and entices me.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Repeating the same sound as a way of emphasizing the previous line.

I take you girl as you're standing there
I accept you as you are, without condition or judgment.

Your low cut slacks and your long black hair
Your physical appearance is particularly alluring to me, with emphasis on your lower body and flowing hair.

Don't want you goin' round with no one else
I desire exclusivity with you and don't want to share your attention with anyone else.

'Cause when I'm with you I can't control myself
Being in your presence elicits a strong reaction within me, causing me to feel overwhelmed with emotion and desire.

Defense is down and you've got me shakin'
My emotional defenses are weakened in your presence, causing me to feel vulnerable and physically unsteady.

Baba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Repeating the same sound as a way of emphasizing the previous line.

You've got me so that my nerves are breakin'
Your effect on me is so intense that it's causing me to become emotionally and mentally strained.

If you knew me like I know you girl
If you were as intimately knowledgeable about me as I am about you, you would understand the depth of my feelings towards you.

Your knees would bend and your hair would curl
Your own physical and emotional reactions to me would reveal the strength of your feelings and attraction towards me.

You make me move yeah like no one else
You affect my emotional and physical responses in a way that no one else ever has.

And when I've got this feeling that's inside of me
Referencing the overwhelming emotions and physical sensations I experience when I'm with you.

It makes me think of how things used to be
Reflecting on past experiences with similar emotional intensity towards someone else.

It makes me feel allright
Despite the intensity of these feelings, they provide me with a sense of satisfaction and personal fulfillment.

when I'm with you at night
Emphasizing the strong feelings and reactions when we are together in close proximity.

and we love-and we love
Referencing the intimate physical expression of our shared feelings and attraction towards each other.

You fill me so with this big temptation
The depth of my attraction towards you is causing me to feel overtaken by strong desires and impulses.

Baba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Repeating the same sound as a way of emphasizing the previous line.

This kind of feeling could move a nation
The intensity of these feelings is so strong that it has the potential to inspire and impact a much wider audience than just myself.

And I'm okay when I'm here with you
Being in your presence puts me at ease and provides me with a sense of comfort and stability.

I do the things thatyou want me to
I willingly and eagerly comply with your requests and desires in order to maintain our connection and intimacy.

But do these things for no one else
I only perform these actions and behaviors for you, not for anyone else in my life.

But when I've got this feeling that's inside of me
Referencing the overwhelming emotions and physical sensations I experience when I'm with you.

It makes me feel allright
Despite the intensity of these feelings, they provide me with a sense of satisfaction and personal fulfillment.

when I'm with you at night
Emphasizing the strong feelings and reactions when we are together in close proximity.

and we love-and we love
Referencing the intimate physical expression of our shared feelings and attraction towards each other.
