Take Good Care of Her
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
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...
