Take Good Care Of Me

(album: Jonathan Butler - 1987)

Oh, baby

I found the nerve to try again
Some broken hearts, given time will mend
Will you be gentle if I surrender all to you, to you?

Please understand that I've got to be sure
The lessons I've learned, I can't ignore
Will you be gentle (be gentle)
If I surrender all to you, to you?

Take good care of me
'Cause my heart's a tender thing, oh, yeah
Take good care of me
'Cause this heart has known much pain
And can never handle hurting again
So take good care of me, of me

Don't get me wrong, 'cause I really care
But a shadow of doubt has always been there
Please reassure me (reassure me)
Hold me against my fears away, my fears away (fears away)

Something tells me it's right this time
It took a little while, but I made up my mind
Please reassure me (reassure me)
That we'll be together, come what may, come what may

Take good care of me
'Cause my heart's a tender thing, oh, yeah (woah)
Take good care of me
'Cause this heart has known much pain
And can never handle hurting again
So take good care of me

I know forever's never promised to anyone
So if it can't be forever (ever)
I'll take what I can get
'Cause, baby, you're the best thing (you're the best thing)
That's ever happened to me yet, oh

Oh, baby. So if it can't be forever (ever)
I'll take what I can get
'Cause, baby, you're the best thing (you're the best thing)
That's ever happened to me yet, oh

Take good care of me
'Cause my heart's a tender thing (woah, oh)
Take good care of me (take it all, oh, baby)
'Cause this heart has known much pain
And can never handle hurting again
So take...

Take good care of me (oh, darling)
You got my heart in your hands this time (woah, baby)
Take good care of me (I give it to you all of me, baby)
'Cause this heart has known much pain
And can never handle hurting again
