Gerald Levert- I Just Can't Help Myself

For the grown and sexy
Lyrics:
There comes a time in a man's life
When he's tired of the games
the messing around
He needs a good woman to settle down
And I'm at that time in my life
And I found what I needed in you
I swear I'll always be true
After searching and searching and searching
What treasure I found in you
So baby I'm ready say you'll be my lady
And I'll give my all to you
[Chorus X 2]
I just can't help myself
I'll tell the world I love you I love you
I don't want no one else
I just can't help myself
Lyrics:
See I want us to get married
And have a family
A girl for you and a boy for me
A great big old house
Baby just wait and see
I know you're wondering if I'm serious
Oh girl it's for real this feeling I feel
Do me a favor girl give me your trust
I've had time to think it over
And if you think that I'm letting you go
Baby you must be crazy I'm gonna let you know
[Chorus X 2]
I just can't help myself
I'll tell the world I love you I love you
I don't want no one else
I just can't help myself
See my friends think I'm crazy
For loving you the way that I do
But they won't understand
Until they become a man
And find a good woman
A good woman like you
[Chorus X 2]
I just can't help myself
I'll tell the world I love you I love you
I don't want no one else
I just can't help myself
RIP to a true vocalist

My dad use to play this song for my mom when I was growing up. I never truly understood the lyrics until I heard him singing it to her on her death bed, with tears running down his face. He always said she was his forever love and now I know why these lyrics fit their love. RIP Mommy, daddy & I love you forever ❤️

I remember watching Strapped starring Bokeem Woodbine and his girlfriend was pregnant towards the end of the movie and this song started playing in the background when he promised her he would stop doing what got him in trouble and she was waiting on him at the bus stop but he got arrested...man that was a sad ending.

I love this song, It reminds me so much of my brother who recently passed. He was a big R&B fan and I owe a lot of my romantic life to him for opening me up to these great songs, they take me back to better days when me and my brother were close and were best friends before addiction changed him and made him a different person but this song in particular takes me back to that 14 year old kid looking up to his big brother like he was the coolest person to ever walk the earth, better times I love you brother I wish I could’ve done more for you sorry I wasn’t the person I should’ve been
