If you can’t tell by now, I am a hopeful romantic. This song and the lyrics feels like your floating in the air being carried away by those first moments of the realization of love. I know that was a run on sentence but, that’s what this song feels like to me. It’s always somewhere in my life and when I least expect it. I mean when I don’t choose to listen to it, I may hear it on the radio or in a store and it just takes me to a place where falling in love was simple. You didn’t have to think about all of the things that cloud your mind or taint your judgement as you get older. You aren’t trying to stop the love, calculate your next move or try to figure out their motives. You are just into the person and you can’t help it. The repeat of the chorus is the repeat of your thoughts about that person. You know you think about them throughout your day and you can’t help when the thoughts pop into your mind.

Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can’t help but see you
Running often through my mind

Helpless like a baby
Sensual disguise
I can’t help but love you
It’s getting better all the time

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

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

Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
And I’m so glad I found you, yeah
You’re an angel in disguise

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

And I’m so glad I found you, yeah
You’re an angel in disguise

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

I can’t help it if I wanted to
I wouldn’t help it, no, even if I could
I can’t help it if I wanted to
Wouldn’t help it, no, 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
Wouldn’t help it, no, no, no
