Lyrics:

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

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

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

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

'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

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

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