I Can’t Help It

I can’t help it that I want you

I can’t help it that I need you

That I am nothing without you

Oh sweet baby, oh sweet baby

.

I can’t help my deep affection

And the mild insurrection

That causes the connection

In our hearts and minds and ways

.

I can’t help it that you’re violent

That you’re cruel and cold and silent

I only wish I didn’t die yet

As you begin to stray

.

My emotions are dependent

So I cannot help but win it

I am so wrapped up all in it

That I cannot seek escape

.

You only want to use me

To hurt and twist, abuse me

But I fear you never lose me

For I cannot bear the pain

.

It hurts much to fight you

But I do it just to spite you

I’ll say up all the night too

Just to prove my bastard point

.

I wonder if you’re lying

Though your teeth, as I lay dying

I get so sick of crying

In the places we have fun

.

Your other girls are lucky

For there lives are much less mucky

And your face can look so ugly

When with lust it's overwhelmed

.

I want to run from your sight

As you suck out all of the light

I live in eternal night

Because this blackhole you call a heart

.

But sweet solitude non-existent

And I cannot help but miss it

No matter how she gets it

I am yours forever more

.

So wrap your bounded arms around me

And do not seek to drown me

For as lame as this is sounding

Here’s the cupboard; there’s the door
