...

▪ She Can't Help Herself (letra)

When she was a baby the world was a picture
One twist of fate took her parents away
On a highway, they're not coming home
She's alone

Then strangers appeared gave her love that she needed
Over those green hills and so far away
Like an echo, in the night she'd scream
In her dreams

She can't help herself, she can't help herself
She can't help herself crying alone
But there's so many crying like you

When nearly a woman a friend of the family
Took that away that was precious to give
She pretended nothing happened there
Through the years

She can't help herself, she can't help herself
She can't help herself crying alone
But there's so many crying like you

Now she walks alone down the lane made for lovers
Too scared to open her heart to someone
Close the door and push away the pain, once again

She can't help herself, she can't help herself
She can't help herself crying alone
All her bridges were burned long ago
She can't help herself, she can't help herself
She can't help herself crying alone
But there's so many crying like you

Don't cry, leave a light on the landing hall
Don't cry, there's a rainbow behind that door

Just when you can't take anymore
. . . there'll be someone to help you
To break down the walls
Just when you can't feel anymore
. . . there'll be someone
To help you to even the score
Just when you can't give anymore
. . . there'll be someone
To help you to break down the walls
Just when you can't take anymore
. . . there'll be someone for sure

I agree . The last 90 seconds are pure magical pop. RIP Allan Holdsworth.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written…Yet hardly known, even amongst the UK Level fans!…Just a glorious song, in a proud Level, slow-song tradition…And in late 2022 we are still keeping/promoting this incredible music…"She Can't Help Herself"…

[midtownjohn]

This may be their best song ever . Love the build up to the last 60 seconds,

"Don't Crrry...." IMMEDIATE TEARS!!!!🙏🏽🔥😭😭😭

What a beautiful way to handle a difficult subject to sing about.

I remember a !990's interview with Mark King on the late John Dunn BBC Radio 2 show. John revealed that Mark asked him to turn the volume down on the studio speakers whilst they played a Level 42 song. Mark said he did not like the sound of his own voice ! Well, this song along with the harmony from Mike Lindup and Annie MacCaig is one of the finest examples of Marks wonderful soulful almost achingly beautiful voices.

Such a great find. Allan didn't make it on the album cover....he was on another level!

[mjfan]

Mark King gave me this album a year before it came out, it means so much to me! Thanks Mark I appreciate everything you did for my brother and me xx

[mattthoumine]

Gary Husband at his finest on the track. Alan Holdsworth adding so much to this too. Had Al Murphy not passed away it would have been great to hear his take on this.

[michaelhoelenii]

This song and "A Kinder Eye" get me every time. I've been a fan of Level 42 forever and even though this may not display virtuosity, it shows what else they can do as songwriters.

[edoardozampetti]

Allan and Gary and the others.. lyrics ... simply.. magical.. wonderful..

[MarcoMI]

Allan Holdsworth solo was absolutely d e v a s t a t i n g! Lord knows why this song's not available on iTunes.

[mikeg]

One of their most powerful songs ever. It touches me every time I listen to it.

[peterhall]

this is a superb song & such a sad tail. they don't make them like this any more.

[charlesmccauley]

This album was completely beautiful and a higher & deeper ‘Level’ used to play it all the time b4 it disappeared :0)

[xxxnstuffxxx]

Heartbroken at Allan's passing. :..(

[alfredoaatwater]

[hamzakolak]

[Cassiro]

Certain emptiness in my heart & soul as I remember Allan's passing!
