[Verse 1]
Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind, oh
Helpless like a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time
[Chorus]
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it, no
Can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it, no, no, no
[Scatting]
[Verse 2]
I'd 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
You're an angel in disguise
[Chorus]
And I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it, no
Can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it, no
[Scatting]
[Chorus]
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it, no
Can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
Wouldn't help it, no, no, no
[Scatting]
