My tears are fallin' 'Cause you've taken her away And though it really hurts me so There's something that I've 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 Aww, take good care of my baby Now don't you ever make her cry Just let your love surround her Paint a rainbow all around 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 Well, 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 Aww, take good care of my baby Well, take good care of my baby Just, take good care of my baby
