Lyrics:

I can't help it - Betty Carter

I can't help it
That's the way that I am
I can't help it
I don't know how to share
I tried to do the things I feel inside
And believe me that's a real delight

Have you considered what it does to your soul?
You sell it when you play some other's role
Be yourself dear in what you choose to be
I'll not change you, I need you can't you see?
So try me and maybe you'll love me
'Cause I can't help it
That's the way that I am

That's the way that I am
I don't know how to share
I tried to do the things I feel inside
And believe me that's a real delight

Have you considered what it does to your soul?
You sell it when you play some other's role

Be yourself dear in what you choose to be
I'll not change you, I need can't you see?
So try me and maybe you'll love me
'Cause I can't help it
That's the way that I am
