"Can't Stay Away from You" is the title of a 1987 single by singer Gloria Estefan, credited to Estefan and her former band, the Miami Sound Machine. The song was the third single released off their multi-platinum album, "Let It Loose". It became Estefan's (and her band's) fifth Top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; it was their second #1 hit on the adult contemporary chart, following 1986's "Words Get in the Way". In England, the song originally peaked at #88 on the UK Singles Chart, but later it was re-released and made the Top 10, topping out at #7.

The song is a pensive ballad sung from the perspective of a woman who is in love with someone who doesn't care much about her, but she is unwilling to walk away from their relationship because she does not want it to end.
