Take Care of My Baby Lyrics

I will send you out a message
I will telephone a love song
I'll collect all of your stories
I haven't seen you for so long

Do you wonder what I'm up to?
Do I ever cross your mind ?
May we love the things we cling too
There is never enough time

I would watch as you was sleeping
To make sure you were still breathing
You live so fast without seeing
This eternal youth is fleeting

Oh Take care of my Baby
Take care of my Baby
Take care of my Baby
I don't think he can do it himself

Oh What to do with my hands
They've no others to hold
They lay sadly by my side so cold

What to do with my head
When I've no place to lay it
I spend the month in bed
So you'll hold me for a moment

I would watch as you was sleeping
To make sure you were still breathing
You live so fast without seeing
This eternal youth is fleeting

Oh Take care of my Baby
Take care of my Baby
Take care of my Baby
I don't think He can do it himself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
