The Usher song "can you help me" represents the situations and relationships where a man is trying to do his best to please his woman however his woman just will never be happy with all his efforts. All a man asks is for his woman to tell him if he's doing things right or doing things that he shouldn't be doing. He wants nothing more than to express his love to her and wants her to open up her heart for Him. She ended up leaving him and he doesn't understand why.
