"I Can't Help Myself" is a 1965 song recorded by the Four Tops for the Motown label.
Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, "I Can't Help Myself" is one of the most well-known Motown recordings of the 1960s and among the decade's biggest hits. The single topped the Billboard's R&B chart for nine weeks (being named the biggest R&B single of the year by Billboard) and also peaked at No.1 on the Hot 100 for two non-consecutive weeks, from June 12 to June 19 and from June 26 to July 3 in 1965. It replaced "Back in My Arms Again" by label mates the Supremes. It was first unseated at No.1 by "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds, then regained the top spot before being replaced by the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Billboard ranked the record as the second biggest single of 1965. "I Can't Help Myself" was the Four Tops' first top 40 single in the UK, peaking at No.23 at the end of 1965, then reaching No.10 in its early 1970 re-release.
The song finds lead singer Levi Stubbs, assisted by the other three Tops and the Andantes, pleadingly professing his love to a woman: "Sugar pie, honey bunch/I'm weaker than a man should be!/Can't help myself/I'm a fool in love, you see." The melodic and chordal progressions are very similar to the Supremes' 1964 hit "Where Did Our Love Go", also written by Holland-Dozier-Holland. According to AllMusic critic Ed Hogan, the title "I Can't Help Myself" is an oblique acknowledgment by Dozier that he could not resist recycling his previous hit. The bracketed title "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch" appears only on certain oldie reissues of the single.
Billboard described the song as a "spirited, fast-paced wailer performed in [the Four Tops'] unique style." Cash Box described it as "a rollicking hand-clappin' thumper about a fella who is delighted 'cause he's head-over-heels with the gal of his dreams." Record World said that the "Tops will be helping themselves right up the charts with this grinding number about love."
Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song at No.483 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered extensively since 1965, including versions done for several television commercials. In 2019, Applebee's used the song for one of their advertisements.

My favorite Motown group, smooth and classy, with the incomparable Levi leading the vocals. They could even make heartache sound like fun. Exuberant performance, music for the pure joy of it, still effective 50+ years later.
Four Tops were the greatest of all times. It was a different clean cut fun world. We had natural down to earth happy times.
ABSOLUTELY!! IT WAS A CLEAN GREAT SOUND AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! THANKS LADS!!! HOPE U ARE GETTING THOSE ANGELS CRANKING THEIR THING UP THERE! I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!

NOPE --- I grew up during the lip-synching era (Soul Train, American Bandstand and all their ilk) . . . and I just refuse to watch it now in the great year of 2024!
