I Wanna Take Care Of You

But I wanna take care of you
The woman within may think that it's wrong
But I wanna take care of you
I'll show you the love of a man that knows how
To hold you without holding you down
It's not a sign of weakness to let me be strong
I wanna take care of you
I'll carry the weight of your world on my shoulder
I wanna take care of you
In the prime of our years till time ticks us older
I wanna take care of you
I'll be your rope when that mountain's too steep
Be your hope when the water's too deep
I'll share my blanket when trouble winds turn colder
I wanna take care of you
I've got nothin' to prove but the way that I feel
It's love but it's so much more
For once in my life I know what I am living for
When the good Lord takes you He better take me too
So I can take care of you
When the good Lord takes you He better take me too
So I can take care of you
