Imitation #2 (1960's) The Four Tops, I Can't Help Myself

This song is a confessional about love. It uses lyrical poetry to explain his feeling for a women. He is telling this her he loves her and as he sings, puts stress on the words "I love you." The last two lines of each of the stanzas contain an end rhyme while the first two lines do not rhyme. Hyperbole is also used when referring to her picture and saying "and I kissed it a thousand times." It is stated for effect about how he feels for the picture. His love for her photograph is a symbol for his love for her. The picture is all he has of her when she is not around. After a few lines that are sung, they are repeated in the background or the other singers add "ooo"to continue the rhythm of the song and fill the spaces in between the lines.
