“Take Good Care of My Baby”

My tears have fallen ’cause you’ve taken her away
Though it really hurts me so
There’s somethin’ 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

Ah, 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

Oh, 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

Ah, take good care of my baby
Ah, take good care of my baby
Oh, take good care of my baby
Oh, take good care of my baby
Whoa, take good care
