Take Good Care Of Yourself

The Three Degrees · International (Take Good Care Of Yourself) [2010]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

ooh-ooh-ooh



Take good care of yourself

Take good care of yourself

I worry 'bout you

When you're gone



When you leave my arms

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I feel so bad

I just think about

The good times we had



And when we kiss goodnight

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, I wanna cry

I can't wait till your back

Back in my arms again



Ooh baby,

Take good care of yourself

Take good care of yourself

I worry 'bout you

Ooh, when you're gone



I wish there could be

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

A way for us

To be together

Both day and night



When I see you leave

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

How thoughtful, aren't we

Call as soon as you

Walk in that door

And I won't have to

Worry no more



Take good care of yourself

Take good care of yourself

I worry 'bout you

Ooh-ooh, when you're gone



Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh



So baby, baby

Take good care of yourself

(Background singers repeat, "Take good care of yourself x 12 till

end simultaneously with lead)

I worry 'bout you, 'bout you,

'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you

Baby, yeah



I worry 'bout you, 'bout you,

'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you, baby

I worry 'bout you, yeah



I worry 'bout you, 'bout you,

'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you, baby



Don't you worry 'bout me



(Fades to end)

I worry 'bout you, 'bout you,

'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you
