About This Quote
She can't help it' is a phrase often used to try and explain someone's actions. Usually, this is done to make a person look at a situation a different way after they have been scolded for doing something wrong. For example, if you steal from a store, you may say 'she can't help it', as if that would change the fact that you committed the crime. This is also used as a way to look at another person as being impossible to control.
Often these people are either rebels who do not follow the rules or those who have been abused in one way or another. People with different emotional makeup are also often referred to as being 'soul of a poet' or 'emotional makeup of a junkyard dog'.
