I Can't Help Falling In Love With You, by Elvis Presley

We mentioned this song in 5B today.

When help means assistance, it is followed by a pronoun and then either the simple verb or the infinitive:

Umut and Vladimir helped Talal move his furniture.
OR: U and V helped T to move his furniture.
Such good friends.

The expression "can't help" has a different meaning. If I "can't help myself," it means I cannot control myself; I can't stop it. The song "I can't help falling in love with you," means that I can't stop myself from falling in love with you.

The lyrics:

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you
