[Verse 1]
I know you can make it in this world on your own
But I wanna take care of you
The woman within may think that it's wrong
But I wanna take care of you
[Chorus]
I'll show you the love of a man that knows how
To hold you without holding you down
It's not a sign of weakness if you'll let me be strong
I wanna take care of you
[Verse 2]
I'll carry the weight of this old world on my shoulders
I wanna take care of you
In the prime of our years and until time ticks us older
I wanna take care of you
[Verse 3]
And I'll be your rope when that mountain's too steep
I'll be your hope when the water's too deep
And I'll share my blanket when trouble winds turn colder
I wanna take care of you
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got nothing to prove but the way I feel
It's love but it's so much more
And for once in my life I know what I am living for
[Verse 4]
And when the good Lord takes you, He better take me too
So I can take care of you
Yeah when the good Lord takes you, well He better take me too
So I can take care of you

It's all I wanna do, is take care of you
