I Just Can't Help Myself

She had the kind of smile to where you couldn't tell,

Maybe she could be heaven maybe she'd be hell.

And when she danced on me I couldn't help myself.

I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself.

She had the reddest lips, she had the sweetest smell.

And when she moved her hips everyone's jaw just fell.

But when she danced on me I couldn't help myself.

I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself.



I try to stop my mind thinking things I can't tell.

She knew just what she doin' and she does it well.

And when she danced on me I couldn't help myself.

I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself.



I just can't help myself.

(Girl when you move like that.)

I just can't help myself.

(Girl when you throw it back.)

Girl when you dance on me I just can't help myself.

I just can't help myself, I just can't help myself.



Ay hey ay,

Whoa.



Ay hey ay,

Whoa.



Ay hey ay,

Whoa.



I just can't help myself.

I just can't help myself.



She'd get inside your mind, so sexy is her spell.

She'll move her hips around just like a carousel.

And when she danced on me I couldn't help myself.

I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself.



I try to stop my mind thinking things I can't tell.

She knew just what she doin' and she does it well.

And when she danced on me I couldn't help myself.

I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself.



I just can't help myself.

(Girl when you move like that.)

I just can't help myself.

(Girl when you throw it back.)

Girl when you dance on me I just can't help myself.

I just can't help myself, I just can't help myself.



Ay hey ay,

Whoa.



Ay hey ay,

Whoa.



Ay hey ay,

Whoa.



I just can't help myself.

I just can't help myself.
