Please Help Me I'm Falling (In Love With You)
Hank Williams Jr. · Connie Francis And Hank Williams Jr. Sing Great Country Favorites [1964]
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true
[ strings - guitar ]
Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do please help
me I'm falling in love with you
