I'll Take Care Of You

Beth Hart · Other Songs - Beth Hart

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 I'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 I'll do



I just have got to take care of you

You won't ever have to worry

You don't ever have to cry

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 I want to do

And just as sure

One and one is two

I just got, I got to take care of you

I just got to take care of you

Take care of you
