I Can't Help You Now

Bonnie Raitt · The Best of Bonnie Raitt on Capitol 1989-2003 [2003]

where were you when i was fallin down

Buzzin round your heart

Why'd you wait till i was moving on

to come out of the dark



to say i'm what you need

and you could spend your life with me



chorus

well i can't help you now

(sorry baby, i can't help you )

no, i can't help you now

(keep away, i've fallen in love)

maybe there was a time

but sometimes time runs out

and i can't help you know



forty days since i stopped countin the days

and countin the ways that i loved you

good long while since i found

good enough reasons to stop believin that you

are what i really want

and now that you you do baby, i don't



chorus



now you sayi'm the one you need

and you could spend your life with me

but i can't help you know,no



i can't help you know



baby there was a time

and i wish i could somehow

but i can't help you

can't help you know
