I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You)
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart was at your feet
I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you
A memory from the past came slowly stealing
As I braced your arm and walked so close to you
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you
I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you
