I Can’t Help Myself (When It Comes to You)

Glenn Medeiros' song "I Can’t Help Myself (When It Comes to You)" delves into the overwhelming and often uncontrollable nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who finds himself utterly captivated by a woman, to the point where his daily life and routines are disrupted. This theme is introduced right from the beginning, where Medeiros describes a 'crazy pattern' and a 'routine' that always happens when a boy falls deeply in love. The intensity of his feelings makes it difficult for him to focus on anything else, highlighting the consuming power of love.

The song further explores the internal conflict between the mind and the heart. Medeiros sings about how his mind resists the pull of his emotions, but his heart is being won over by the woman's careful and deliberate actions. The metaphor of the 'pink diamond' suggests something precious and alluring, symbolizing the woman's charm and the perfection of her influence over him. Despite his initial resistance, he finds himself unable to fight against the feelings that are growing stronger each day.

In the chorus, the repeated line 'I can't help myself when it comes to you' underscores the inevitability of his surrender. Medeiros acknowledges that even the negative aspects of the relationship seem positive to him, indicating a deep sense of infatuation and emotional entanglement. The song captures the paradox of feeling both lost and safe in love, and the ultimate surrender to these powerful emotions. This emotional journey is relatable to anyone who has experienced the all-consuming nature of love, making the song a poignant reflection on the complexities of romantic relationships.
