(Can’t Help It)
From the film “The Blue Angel”, 1930
Words and music by Fredrich Hollander
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’m much too sentimental
My heart is never free
Perhaps it’s accidental
That love should come to me
Some little thing within me
Protects me for a while
‘Til some one comes to win me
With only a smile
Refrain
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do? Can’t help it
Love’s always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way, can’t help it
Men cluster to me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I’m not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do? Can’t help it
