Lyrics : Brook Benton
Music : Brook Benton
I know you've been hurt
By someone else
I can tell by the way
You carry yourself
But if you'll let me
Here's what l'll do
I'll take care of you
I, I loved and lost
The same as you
So, you see, I know
Just what you've been through
And if you'll let me
Here's what l'll do
Oh, I just got to take care of you
You won't ever have to worry
You don't ever have to cry
Yeah, I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So, darlin' tell me
That you'll be true
'Cause there's no doubt in my mind
I know what l want to do
And just as sure, one and one is two
Oh, I just got, I got to take care of you
I just got to take care of you
Take care of you
Oh-oh-oh, yeah!
