I Can’t Help It Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh ooh
I can't
Ooh ooh
I can't
I can't help myself

[Verse 1]
I was looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind

[Verse 2]
Helpless as a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time

[Chorus]
But I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

[Interlude]
Love makes me feel sooo strong
Oooh ooh

[Verse 3]
Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you
Bringing sparkles to your eyes

[Verse 4]
Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
And I'm so glad I found you
You're an angel in disguise

[Chorus]
And I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to (Oh I can't help it)
I wouldn't help it, no, Oooh ooh
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

[Outro]
I-i-i just can't help myself, uhmmm
Oooh oooh
Can't help it

About

This song bio is unreviewed

I Can’t Help It is a cover of a Michael Jackson track from his 1979 solo album Off The Wall. Written by soul legend Stevie Wonder, Spalding puts her own spin on the pop hit.

In the music video, Spalding reminisces on a past relationship with a woman while her current partner sleeps next to her and prepares breakfast. Alternatively, another reading could be one of unfaithfulness in her present relationship rather than memory.
