Lyrics of I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) by Four Tops
chorus
Ooh, sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can′t help myself
I love you and nobody else
verse
In and out my life (in and out my life)
You come and you go (you come and you go)
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times
When you snap your finger or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to your apron string
And there′s nothing that I can do, ooh
hook
I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself
chorus
Oh, sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
I′m weaker than a man should be
I can′t help myself
I'm a fool in love, you see
verse
Wanna tell you I don′t love you
Tell you that we're through
And I′ve tried
But everytime I see your face
I get all choked up inside
bridge
When I call your name
Girl, it starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try, my love I cannot hide
chorus
Oh, sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
You now that I′m weak for you (weak for you)
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else, ooh
Sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
I'll do anything you ask me to (ask me to)
I can′t help myself
I want you and nobody else, ooh
outro
Sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
You know that I love you (love you)
I can′t help myself
No, I can't help myself
Ooh, sugar pie, honey bunch
