Girl Can't Help It - Lyrics

If he could hold her, so close in his arms...again

If she could show him

The letter her heart forgot to send...why

They're livin' dreams on their own

Ooh they'll never stop running

The girl can't help it, she needs more

He hasn't found what he's lookin' for

They're still standing in the rain

He can't help it, and she's just that way

And when he calls her

She tells him that she still cares

Under the moonlight,

He wonders why she can't be there...why

Why do they go on alone

When they're missin' each other

There's a fire

Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you

Don't you know she still cries

Ooh do you know she still cries for you

Fire

Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you

For you she cries

Ooh do you know she still cries for you

Fire

Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you

Ooh nothing stands between love and you
