Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

I Can't Help You Now

Where were you when I was fallin' down

Buzzin' 'round your heart?

Why'd you wait till I was moving on

To come out of the dark?

To say I'm what you need

And you could spend your life with me

Well, I can't help you now

(Sorry baby)

No, I can't help you now

(Keep away, I've fallen in love)

Maybe there was a time

But sometimes time runs out

And I can't help you now

It's been forty days since I stopped countin' the days

Countin' the ways that I love you

Good long while since I found

Good enough reasons to stop believin'

That you are what I really want

And now that you do baby, I don't

But I can't help you now

(Sorry baby, no)

I can't help you now

(Keep away, I've fallen in love)

Maybe there was a time

But sometimes time runs out

And I can't help you now, hey hey

Now you say, I'm the one you need

And you could spend your life with me

But I can't help you, no, I can't help you now

(Sorry baby, no I can't help)

I can't help you now

(Keep away, I've fallen in love)

Baby there was a time and I wish I could somehow

But I can't help you, can't help you now
