I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost
I've asked about you and they told me things
But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same
What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
They won't get you like I will, my only wish is I die real
'Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase
Big girls all get a little taste, ah
Pushing me away so I give her space, ah
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thinking you just don't know
Tryna run from that, say you done with that
On your face, girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the party's over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide
And you've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes
'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost
Yeah
It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to
Can't deny that I want you but I'll lie if I have to
'Cause you don't say you love me
To your friends when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do, you do
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you're following your heart
'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
You hate being alone well you ain't the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
And they sold you one
And you love your friends, but somebody should've told you some'
To save you, instead, they say
Don't tell me, I don't care
If you hurt, I don't tell you
You don't care, it feels true
Don't tell me, I don't care
If you hurt, I don't tell you
You don't care, it feels true
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost
This song is amazing! They've both dated a lot of people, "I've had mine you've had yours we both know." And even though he's found out about things she's done in the past, "I've asked about you, and they told me things, But, my mind didn't change and I still feel the same," he still loves her and doesn't mind because he's had his share of romances as well.
My favorite part is the intro, "I know you've been hurt, By, someone else. I can tell by the way, you carry yourself. If you let me, here's what I'll do. I'll take care of you. I've loved and I've lost."
"it's my birthday, i'll get high if i want to can't deny that i want you, but i'll lie if i have to"
i love this song, but this lyric just about broke my heart.
love this song! first of all the carribean feel of the beat is so addicting! I can defiantely relate to this song in that I have been through some hard relationships and come off to be very guarded. When I first meet people I'm secretly asking them to give me some time to open up and get toknow the real me because I am so closed off for fear of getting hurt once again. For me this song is saying to people that if you meet someone who is guarded and has a past to give them a chance to show you the real them and you might meet a great person whom you would've never known off first impression. My favorite part is "When you're ready just say you're ready, when all the baggage just aint as heavy, and the parties over, just dont forget me, we'll change the pace and we'll just go slow" Just coming out of a bad realtionship I have been doing a lot of partying and when it comes to meeting guys I'd rather skip all the getting to know each other and just keep things physical because I am so emotionally unavailable now. This song is amazing. Just lets people know to take a second look at someone and not to judge someone for having a past and acting the way they do.
This is exactly how I see it and both me and my guy relate VERY strongly to this song. It saves me, as lyrics always find a way to ;) But thxs, you made me understand it even better. What about the birthday part?

this song.....there is so much meaning in it.i love this song because it really relates to my past. ive been there and back a million times. i have a long history.. and in that history i was raped. so ya, im very insecure of myself. the one guy i actually trusted definitely broke my heart. the worst part is i convinced myself i was in love with him. thats why these are my favorite lyrics ,"youre all so convinced that your following youre heart cause your mind dont control what it does sometimes". but i learn to let go..............FOREVER ND EVER<3
I felt the same way about this girl once. She couldn't trust people either cause of her past. It seemed like she was so insecure. I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world... She just couldn't see it. Until she told me about her past.. I understood. She had it all ambition... kindness.. But she'd always run back to her cheating ex-boyfriend. I didn't want to get hurt emotionally. So I had to let go.. I'll always regret it.

I just thought you all should know that this is a cover of a remix of the original. The original, I'll Take Care Of You, is by Gil Scott-Heron, and Jamie xx worked with Gil, remixing his entire album, I'm New Here. And Drake and Rihanna used Jamie's remix. The rap, of course, is Drake's. But I just thought I should add this, because a lot of people don't seem to know that.
Actually the original from which Gil Scott-Heron's remix (and now Drake/Rihanna) is sampled was a recording by Bobby Bland in 1959 and became a blues classic. Brook Benton's simple but evocative lyric inspired covers by a diverse range of artists from Etta James to Van Morrison.

For me this song is about a guy who realizes he is in love with his best friend who is a lady and he is telling her the way he feels about her and that he loves her so much that the past doesn't matter for either of them, but she has been hurt so bad that she doesnt want to have a relationship with him but he is so in love with her that he will wait till she is.Well thats my opinon any way
Great song, should have more comments!
"Big girls all get a little taste". I think he is referring ton rejection, a lot of get that because of their size. A good song overall though.
This is a Gil-Scot Heron song, produced by Jamie xx. That's what really makes it a cool one.
