i can't help myself

bonnie raitt

can't help myself

i'm falling in love

i can't help myself

can't help myself

i'm falling in love

billy was a friend of mine

we used to walk down by the river

and he'd hold my hand

we were only ten or twelve years old

didn't know about love

i found out

that it could hurt ya so

jimmie was the one in high school days

we used to drive around the city

thinking we'd grown up

must've been just about sweet sixteen

i found a brand new world

a brand new love

that i had never seen

no matter how hard i try

i just can't leave it alone

no use in wonderin' why

'cause my heart has a mind of its own

but i keep on falling

can't help myself

i'm falling in love

i can't help myself

i keep on falling

can't help myself

i'm falling in love

i keep right on falling

can't help myself

i'm falling in love

i can't help myself.
