Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you've been hurt

By someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

But if you let me, here's what I'll do

[Verse 2]

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

[Verse 3]

I've loved and I've lost, same as you

So you see, I know just what you've been through

And if you let me, here's what I'll do

[Verse 4]

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

[Verse 5]

You won't ever have to worry

You won't ever have to whine

For I'll be there beside you

Dry your weepin' eye

[Verse 6]

So, darling, tell me that you'll be true

There's no doubt in my mind

I know what I want to do

And just as sure as one and one is two

I know I'll take care of you

[Verse 7]

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you
