You say that you're falling But what can I do? You want me to help you But I'm falling too I know that we're wrong dear But when I'm with you I can't help you darlin' Cause I'm falling too You belong to another Whose arms have grown cold But, you must keep the vows dear Although they've grown old You can never be free dear Though our love is true I can't help you darlin' Cause I'm falling too We could never be happy Living in sin Our love's a temptation But we just can't win You ask me to help you But what can I do? I can't help you darlin' Cause I'm falling too
