I can't help it;
after all if I were without love
I'd be nothing but an automation
a robot
cold and unfeeling.
My heart isn't made of
stone
I can't just switch off
my feelings.
I am a creature
of flesh
I need to love
in order to survive.
Without love I am nothing.
You see my heart
isn't made of stone
and I can't just switch
my feelings off.
So you see I just can help but love;
because it's love that keeps me alive
and it's love that keeps me human.
