Take Care of Yourself

Tried to love like the rest of the world

A picture perfect romance

I tried directing the play, but the lines

Were all wrong

I tried to make the occasions ring out

I bought you diamonds and pearls

But the gift that I didn’t give was

That of myself

Chorus:

I’m sorry for what I said

Sorry for the things I didn’t do

I’ll say goodbye, but baby take care of yourself

There were times I couldn’t hear your side

Or put myself in your place

My relationship skills had simply run out

And when our times were good they were good

And when they were bad they were bad

I tried directing the play, but the scenes

Were all wrong

Chorus:

I’m sorry for what I said

Sorry for the things I didn’t do

I’ll say goodbye, but baby take care of yourself

I’ll walk away, but baby take care of yourself

And there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you

To try and keep you here by my side

If there’s the slightest chance I could change

For you

Then I’ll be here still for the long ride

Chorus:

I’m sorry for what I said

Sorry for the things I didn’t do

I’ll say goodbye, but baby take care of yourself

I’ll walk away, but baby take care of yourself
