I Can't Help It
Unapologetically Me: Embracing Attitude and Imperfections in Love
Lyrics
I try my best to always use the right words
I make an effort to always choose the right words.
I can't always help that your feelings get hurt
I can't always prevent your feelings from being hurt.
It's never my intention to be mean
It's never my intention to be mean.
I've been trying to work on my patience lately
I've been working on improving my patience recently.
But I can't help, it's the way I walk
My walking style is inherent, and I can't control it.
I can't help it, it's the way I talk
Similarly, my way of talking is innate and beyond my control.
I was born with an attitude
I was born with a naturally assertive or confrontational demeanor.
And I can't always promise you that
I can't always guarantee that I won't use profanity during our arguments.
I won't cuss when we fight
Expressing that it's challenging to acknowledge your correctness in arguments.
Can never seem to say your right
Desire for dominance in the relationship.
I just want the upper hand
Expressing frustration that the partner doesn't comprehend their perspective.
You don't understand, that I can't help it
Reiterating the inherent nature of certain behaviors, emphasizing lack of control.
I ask you a favor and it slips your mind
Highlighting instances where requested favors are forgotten.
It seems to happen all the time but
Noting the frequency of forgetfulness but expressing willingness to do anything for the partner.
For you I would do anything
Stating a significant sacrifice made for the partner.
I packed up my whole life and left my family
Emphasizing a major life change for the relationship.
But I can't help, it's the way I walk
Reiterating the inability to control one's walking style.
I can't help it, it's the way I talk
Reiterating the lack of control over speaking style.
I was born with an attitude
Reaffirming the assertive or confrontational nature from birth.
And I can't always promise you that
Acknowledging the challenge of not using profanity during arguments.
I won't cuss when we fight
Expressing difficulty in admitting the partner's correctness during arguments.
Can never seem to say your right
Reiterating the desire for dominance in the relationship.
I just want the upper hand
Restating the frustration at the partner's lack of understanding.
And you don't understand, that
Emphasizing the difficulty in changing inherent stubbornness.
I can't help that I'm this stubborn
Acknowledging the inherited stubbornness and its association with the mother.
People say I got it from my mother
Reiterating the acknowledgment of inherent stubbornness.
That's why I can't help it
Confirming the inability to control certain aspects of behavior.
No I can't help it
Reiteration of the lack of control over certain behaviors.
But I can't help it it's the walk
Reiterating the inability to control the walking style.
I can't help it, it's the way I talk
Reiterating the lack of control over speaking style.
I was born with an attitude
Affirming the assertive or confrontational nature from birth.
And I can never hide it from you
Asserting the impossibility of hiding certain traits.
I sometimes cuss when we fight
Admitting occasional profanity during arguments.
Can never seem to say your right
Reiterating difficulty in acknowledging the partner's correctness.
I just want the upper hand
Expressing the desire for dominance in the relationship.
And you don't understand that
Restating frustration at the partner's lack of understanding.
I just want the upper hand
Reaffirming the desire for dominance in the relationship.
And boy you will never understand
Emphasizing the partner's perpetual lack of understanding.
That I can't help it
Reiteration of the inherent nature of certain behaviors.
No I can't help it
Reiterating the lack of control over certain behaviors.
