[Verse 1]
How can I help but love you
Help but want you
Help but need you
How can I hide this feeling
Feeling as I do

[Bridge]
How can I make you see me
Wake you to me
Take you to me
And how can I keep the secret
It's so plain to see

[Verse 2]
Be mine, please be mine, my darling
I can't ask nothing more
Be mine, please be mine, my darling
You're the one I adore

[Bridge]
How can I help but love you
Help but want you
Help but need you
I have one wish I'm wishing
Only love me too
