C
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

C
She walks by, the men folk stand in rows
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
  F                                         C
She winks her eye, the bread slice turn to toast
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
  G                  F                 C
She's got a lot of what they call the most
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

C
The girl can't help it she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
       F                          C
And if I go to her on my bended knees
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

Chorus:
  G               F
'Cause I'm hopin' obviously
  G              F
That someday her answer will be
     G                          F                 C
The girl can't help it 'cause she's in love with me
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

She'll mess around with every mother's son
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If I give her good loving she says "baby well done"
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She'd make my grandpa feel like twenty-one
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

The girl can't help it she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if I go to her on my bended knees
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

Chorus

(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

She walks by, the men folk stand and gawp
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She's got a lot of what they call the most
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She can wink her eye and the bread slice turn to toast
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

The girl can't help it she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if I go to her on my bended knees
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

Chorus
