This English pill deals with an interesting expression in English which means that we are not able to control something. The sentence below is part of the chorus of a very popular Elvis' song, which means "I was not able to resist falling in love with you"
The form is: SUBJECT + CAN'T HELP + VERB-ING
For example, if I say "I can't help checking my smartphone all the time" that means that I can't stop checking the phone constantly. It is not intentional and I know that it is a waste of time but I keep on doing it because I can't help it!
