Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll take good care of you
I'll take good care of you
[Verse 2]
I let you go
For what a fool I was to hurt you so
But now I know
All of the good times, the big city sights
I had enough of the bright party lights
They'll never make up for the long, lonely night
'Cause I need you (I need you), I need you (I need you)
I need you, and I promise that
[Verse 3]
I'll take good care of you
I'll take good care of you
[Verse 4]
Ain't it a crime?
I know I've wasted so much precious time
So much precious time
You gave me real love, a beautiful poem
But I give you nothing but heartache and pain
Baby, believe me, it won't happen again
'Cause I need you (I need you), I need you (I need you)
I need you, and I promise that
[Verse 5]
I'll take good care of you
I'll take good care of you
[Verse 6]
Let me take away the pain, babe (I need you)
And let me have those teardrops too (I need you)
You know every day and every night, now, girl (I need you)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna stand by you
And I'll take good care of you
[Verse 7]
I'll take good care of you
