I'll take good care of you I'll take good care of you I let you go, for what a fool I was To hurt you so but now I know All of the good times, big city sights I had enough of bright party lights They'll never make up For long, lonely nights Cause I need you, I need you I need you, I need you I need you and I promise that I'll take good care of you I'll take good care of you Ain't it a crime I know I've wasted So much precious time So much precious time You gave me real love, beautiful poems But I gave you nothing but heartache and pain Baby, believe me, It won't happen again Cause I need you, I need you I need you, I need you I need you and I promise that I'll take good care of you I'll take good care of you Let me take away the pain, babe I need you And let me hide those teardrops I need you You know every day and every night I need you I'm gonna, I'm gonna stand by you And I'll take good care of you I'll take good care of you I'll take good care of you
