As I look out through my window
I can see the morning dew
And the people seem so happy
I wish that I could, too
But my life's become so blue, so blue, so blue
If you get a real good woman
Be sure to treat her right
Or someone else will take her
Away from you one night
From the arms that held her tight, held her tight, held her tight
Take good care of my baby
That's all I ask of you
Take good care of my baby
And then, I won't feel blue
No matter what you do, what you do, what you do
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
I think I've learned my lesson
But now, the time's too late
Someone else has got my baby
Someone else is feeling great
I sit all day and wait, sit and wait, sit and wait
As I think about the good times
Feel tears come to my eyes
Times when I could make her happy
Just to be right by my side
Gotta make you realize, realize, realize
Take good care of my baby
That's all I ask of you
Take good care of my baby
And then, I won't feel blue
Take good care of my baby
That's all I ask of you
Take good care of my baby
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
