Can't help it what I am can't help what I do can't help it what I am I'm still in love with you
I believe that there's someone so much bigger than me and he's controlling the earth and the sun and each step that I take the smallest little step every move I make I know its by his plan girl its by his plan
Can't help what I am can't help what I do can't help what I am 'cause I'm still in love with you
I do foolish things like a puppet from a kid's show see how he dances from the end of the string never knowing which way to go arms go left feet go right everyone laughs at the funny, funny sight but I cry when I see that's so very much like me
I can't help it what I am can't help what I do can't help what I am 'cause I'm still in love with you
Time and time I try not to play this part but something deep inside of me pushes me to this role
I can't help it what I am can't help what I do can't help it what I am 'cause I'm still in love with you
Girl I try to fight even try to deny it but it always seems to show and never wants to go
