I'll Take Care Of You
by 
Brook Benton 
recording of 19 
from 
The Best Of Bobby "Blue" Bland (MCA 31219) 
I know you've been hurt by someone else 
I can tell by the way you carry yourself 
But if you let me, here's what I'll do, 
I'll take care of you 
I, I've loved and lost, the same as you, 
so you see I know, just what you've been through 
But if you'll let me, here's what I'll do 
I just got to take care of you 
You won't ever have to worry, 
you won't ever have to cry 
For I'll be there beside you, 
to dry your weepin' eyes 
So darling tell me that you'll be true 
For there is no doubt in my mind, 
I know what I want to do 
And just as sure as one and one is two, 
you know I'll take care of you
