DESCRIPTION:
"Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" is the English language name for a 1930 German song composed by Friedrich Hollaender as "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt" (literally: "I am, from head to toe, ready for love"). The song was originally performed in the film Der Blaue Engel (English translation: The Blue Angel) by Marlene Dietrich, who also recorded the most famous English version, which became her anthem. The English lyrics were written by Sammy Lerner, though they do not include a translation of the original version's most erotic verse; when the English version is sung, the first verse is simply repeated. The song is sometimes co-credited to Reginald Connelly.

Billie's accompanied by Roy Eldridge (trumpet); Carl Frye, Jimmy Powell (alto saxophone); Kermit Scott (tenor saxophone); Sonny White (piano); Lawrence Lucie (guitar); John Williams (bass); and Hal West (drums). Recorded in New York City, February 29, 1940. (Vocalion Records)

Failing in love again
Never wanted to
What am i to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
I Can't help it

Men flock around me
Like moths around the flame
So if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Gee I can't help it

Men flock around me
Like moths around the flame
So if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it
Can't help it
Can't help it
