SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP MYSELF As sung by John Koerner (with Willie Murphy on piano) on "Running, Jumping, Standing Still" (1969) Every time I think about What will be my destiny, The answer comes with little doubt: It leans toward catastrophe. When I stay somewhere for a week or two, You should see the change that takes place. The whole night-time we talk a zoo(?) Without a sign of the human race. I smoke all the time; I stay inside. I keep away from public places. It's difficult to take any pride Being one of the nation's major disgraces. Woe is me; what can I do? All this trouble; is there nothing new? I'm gonna get out of town. I'm back again. I won't fail this time; I got a special plan. I'm gonna be cool—no fool— Ah, but sometimes I can't help myself. Girls to me are a thing of wonder. I think about them all the time. Every time I meet a girl, she looks like someone's thunder, Then says, "I'll see you by and by— By and by and by and by." Having money don't help me much, Even when I spend it freely. They never take my ... as such. They always think about make a little deal-y. Woe is me; what can I do? All this trouble; is there nothing new? I'm gonna get out of town. I'm back again. I won't fail this time; I got a special plan. I'm gonna be cool—no fool— Ah, but sometimes I can't help myself. |
