F#                   B
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceivin'
       F#                    B
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone

Chorus:
F#                            B           C#
Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
F#                        B
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
D#m7                            C#
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
F#                              B
Can't help it if there's no one else
C#
Mm I can't help myself

Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same

Chorus

D#m7                   C#
They're dimming the street lights,
                   F#
you're perfect for me
                B
Why aren't you here tonight?
D#m7          C#                      F#
I'm waiting alone now so come on and come out
          B            C#
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine

F#                    B
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
   F#                         B
Why I should be the one you choose
F#                    B
All those other girls, well they're beautiful
    F#                  C#        B
But would they write a song for you? Haha

Chorus:
I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself

I can't help myself,
I can't help myself, oh oh oh
