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,
I'll take care of you
I, I've loved and lost, the same as you,
so you see I know, just what you've been through
But if you'll let me, here's what I'll do
I just got to take care of you
You won't ever have to worry,
you won't ever have to cry
For I'll be there beside you,
to dry your weepin' eyes
So darling tell me that you'll be true
For there is no doubt in my mind,
I know what I want to do
And just as sure as one and one is two,
you know I'll take care of you
