Falling In Love Again
Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it
Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
So if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame
Failing in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Gee I can't help it
Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
So if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame
Failing in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it
Can't help it
Can't help it
