Bessie couldn't help it
Any more than you could or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good
Oh So good
She was pretty as the heavens above
Oh Boy how that girl could love
Bessie had affection that was simply wonderful
Bessie couldn't help it
Any more than you could or I could
But when she smiled
You were bound to fall that's all
A boy kissed Bessie in the taxi one night
Why oh Why did she yell with delight
Bessie couldn't help it
Any more than you could or I could
