I Can't Help Myself Lyrics

I always thought I could
Fall from a height
Land on my feet
Now I'm considering
Throwing in the towel
Admitting defeat
Just like the Four Tops
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

Nothing worth finding
Is easily found
Try as one might
That was supposed to sound
Very profound
It probably sounds trite
Just like the Four Tops
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Myself myself myself

Just like the Four Tops
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

I felt I had to tell the world
About you
I felt I had to tell the world
About you
Yes I felt I had to tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world
I can't help myself
Tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world about you, baby
I can't help myself
Tell the world
Tell the world
C'mon c'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon c'mon
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Tell the world
Tell the world
I can't help myself

Nothing worth finding

Try as one might
That was supposed to sound
Very profound
It probably sounds trite 
Just like the Four Tops
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Myself myself myself

Just like the Four Tops
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Correction: the great lyric that begins "Nothing worth finding..." ends with the word "trite" (not dry). Make sense? Great song.
