--- Start Of Take Good Care Of My Baby Lyrics ---

My tears are fallin ... cause you've taken her away
And though it really ... hurts me so ... there's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her ... make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
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 ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover ... that you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
