PLEASE HELP ME I'M FALLING
As recorded by: Hank Locklin
Writers: Robertson and Blair

Please Help Me I'm Fallin', in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk thru
Turn away from me darlin', I'm beggin' you to
Please Help Me I'm Fallin', in love with you.

I belong to another, whose arms have gronwn cold
But I promised forever, to have and to hold
I can never be free dear, but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true.

Please Help Me I'm Fallin', and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation, don't let me walk in
For I musn't want you, but darlin' I do
Please Help Me I'm Fallin', in love with you.

1960 song written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair and first recorded by Hank Locklin. Later in 1960, Skeeter Davis had a hit with an answer record entitled, "(I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too." In 1993, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette recorded their version of "Please Help Me (I'm Fallin' in Love with You)" for their album, Honky Tonk Angels.

(I CAN'T HELP YOU) I'M FALLING TOO
As sung by Skeeter Davis on "The Essential Skeeter Davis"

You say that you're fallin' but what can I do?
You want me to help you, but I'm fallin' too.
I know that we're wrong, dear, but when I'm with you,
I can't help you, darlin', 'cause I'm fallin' 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 fallin' too.

We could never be happy living in sin.
Our love's a temptation, but we just can't win.
You asked me to help you, but what can I do?
I can't help you, darlin', 'cause I'm fallin' too.

I never heard the "Answer song" . I'll look it up and see if it's on Spotify.
Thanks, Joe_Offer & Jim_Dixon ( and Gene for bringing it up. This is one of my fave songs)
