  • [Repeat: 4X]
    She can't help it
    The girl can't help it

    You can find her scratching around in the dark
    Just another candle chasing a spark
    You can find her screaming along with the ghosts
    Remind you she's the one that you need the most

    And then you are out there, on your own again
    No one believes you when you lie
    I still see all the old girls now and then
    Catching the moonlight as they cry

    [Repeat: 4X]

    The wrong way round, is right way when she calls
    You can laugh but it won't mean nothing at all
    Yes you can find her scratching around in her room
    Stumbling round by the light of the stragglers moon

    And then you're out there digging holes again
    Six million people can't be wrong
    Some day you'll buy the perfect song and then
    You can't get back where you belong

    And then you are out there, on your own again
    No one believes you when you lie
    I still see all the old girls now and then
    Catching the moonlight as they cry Writer/s: BOBBY TROUP, JOHN LAWLER
