Take Good Care of Her

Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]

(Arthur Kent - Ed Warren)



I supposed I ought to say congratulations

For you've won the only girl I've ever loved

But I've hurt too much to face the situation

Just take good care of her, take good care of her.



Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure

She was everything my future held in store

So remember when you take my only treasure

Please take good care of her, take good care of her.



I must accepted she loves you more than me

So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefuly.



Please don't send me any wedding invitation

For I couldn't bear to see her there with you

If she's happy that'll be my consolation

So take good care of her, take good care of her.



--- Instrumental ---



Please don't send me any wedding invitation

For I couldn't bear to see her there with you

If she's happy that'll be my consolation

So take good care of her, take good care of her...
