Lyrics
4. YOU CAN’T HELP WHO YOU LOVE
Bill Rhoads 2006
You can help a friend get up when he’s down
By the words you say
And you can help the world find peace by askin’
When you’re on your knees to pray
Lend a helpin’ hand when you see a man
Who can’t find the way to go
But can you help yourself in love?
The answer’s NO
Chorus
No, no, no, no, you can’t help who you love
You can’t help who you love
Samson knew the danger in Delilah’s charms
Yet a haircut brought him down
Torn between their duty and forbidden arms
Kings and queens give up their crown
Romeo and Juliet from the time they met
Could love nobody else
And as in myth and history
I can’t help myself
Repeat Chorus
You’re gonna follow your heart whatever it may do
And I love you
You can’t help who you love
You can’t help who you love
You can’t help who you love
