Take Good Care Of My Baby/what's A Girl To Do
Paul Jabara · Other Songs - Paul Jabara
And through it really hurts me so
There's something that I gotta say
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true I know she'd never be with you, so
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true I know she'd never be with you, so
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Oh take good care of my baby, take good care of my baby
Just take good care of my baby
Take Good Care Of My Baby/what's A Girl To Do
Paul Jabara's 1989 single 'Take Good Care Of My Baby/what's A Girl To Do' stands as a defining example of his unique blend of soulful R&B and rock-infused pop. Released during the height of his career, the track showcases his signature ability to merge smooth vocal delivery with driving guitar riffs, creating a sound that bridged the gap between classic Motown and the emerging alternative rock scene. While often associated with his later greatest hits compilation, the recording itself represents a pivotal moment in his discography, capturing the raw energy and emotional depth that characterized his work in the late 1980s. The song remains a notable song in his catalog, reflecting the era's shift toward more guitar-centric arrangements while maintaining the melodic sensibilities that made him a respected figure in the UK music landscape.
