I'll Take Care Of You

Lyrics

I know you've been hurt

By someone else

I can tell by the way

That you carry yourself

If you'll let me

Here's what I'll do

I'll take good care of you

I, I, I loved and lost

Same as you

So I know, darling

I know what you've been through

If you'll let me

Here's what I'll do

I'll take good care of you

You won't ever have to worry

You won't ever have to cry

Remember, pretty darling

You better dry your weeping eyes

But darling tell me

You'll be true

I have no doubt, darling

I know what I will do

Just as sure as one and one is two

I'll take good care of you

I'll take good care of you

I'll take good care of you

Take good care of you

I'll take good care of you
