Key: AV.1: When I see you on the street, you look so sad You don't even seem to want to live I feel as though you're asking me for something I had You're asking me for something I don't know how to give Ch: I can't help you I can't even help myself I can't help you When I know your heart is breaking over somebody else V.2: When you go to a party, you laugh and smile But you don't really seem to have much to say And when I'm talking with you, every once in a while I get the feeling that your heart's a million miles away Ch: I can't help you I can't even help myself I can't help you When I know your heart is breaking over somebody else Br: All I really want is to make you happy If only I could answer your appeal But when you love another, my love can't help you I can't even let you know how I feel V.3: You call me on the phone. Your voice sounds strange You don't want me to know you've been crying again I hope that someday somewhere somehow something will change For now all I can do is just to be your friend Ch: I can't help you I can't even help myself I can't help you When I know your heart is breaking over somebody else Ch: I can't help you There are times when it's really tough I can't help you Sometimes love just isn't enough Copyright © 1983 by Barb Diederich
