Nat “King” Cole
Can’t Help It
[Verse 1]
Can't help it if I need her so much
Can't help it if I want her so much
Although she loves another
I still play the fool
I just can't help it if my feelings still show
If she should snap her fingers like so
I'd run to her 'cause I know
I can't play it cool
[Bridge]
I'd give my soul
If my heart wouldn't plead for her
I can't control
This perpetual need for her
[Verse 2]
So, when they tell me to forget her I say
I know she's gonna come back some day
And looking at it my way
I've got to refuse
'Cause I can't help it if I love her
Win or lose
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I'd give my soul
If my heart wouldn't plead for her
I can't control
This perpetual need for her
[Verse 2]
So, when they tell me to forget her I say
I know she's gonna come back some day
And looking at it my way
I've got to refuse
'Cause I can't help it if I love her
Win or lose
[Outro]
Win or lose
Win or lose
