I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)

After I put my kids in bed tonight, I went downstairs to put in a load of laundry. Climbing the stairs after I started the machine, I heard this song coming from within:

Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times

Looking at the lyrics now, I see that it isn't a perfect fit for how I'm feeling tonight, but it comes pretty damn close. Thankfully, my boyfriend's comings and goings are based on him trying to establish a home for himself at his new place and his desire to get the things he needs to be happy that I can't give him, never him actually leaving me.

It's a good thing, too, because like The Four Tops, I'm hooked:

When you snap your fingers
Or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to you, baby
And there's nothing I can do
Ooh, sugar

When I call your name (girl)
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide

Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Sugarpie honeybunch
I'll do anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else

Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself

And I don't want to!
