I'll Take Care Of You

The experience of losing a mother and what I imagine her singing to you after she's already gone and her spirit watching over you from above, especially when you miss her so most, are so sad and feel the most all alone at the end of the day, even as an adult.

Which everybody else would laugh at or say is crazy or silly or dumb.

ugh ppl! post stuff for this song!! okay, so i don't know why it took me this long to get this, but it did. i always tried to relate this song to romance or something, but it was always a little awkward. but then just now i thought, maybe it could be about a teen mother singing to her baby? just a thought.

I always thought it was about two friends living together while trying to make in the world.

I always thought it was about a gay couple, but Victoria's view is a good one too.

I kinda always thought this was about a persons relationship with God...

I'll Be There, But You Might Not See Me It's Never Easy To Get Through But When The Laughter Dies Away Then I'll Take Care Of You

Oh and God could be saying this part....cause you know how people are these days...

So Let Them Talk About Us Let Them Call Us Funny Things People Sometimes Do I Don't Care As Long As You Know I Love You Oh, And You Know I Do

I agree with Victoria.. at first I thought it was about a single young mother-child relationship.. also, I thought God.. but.. I know this girl whos best friend and cousin is mentally retarded.. and this song fits the two of them so perfectly.. She is taking care of him, as well as putting herself through college.. and it just fits for some reason.

Yeah, when I first heard it it sounded like a gay couple too, but the mother/baby thing also works- beautiful song regardless

Actually I thought of what else it could be talking about - Perhaps prostitues? "Working girl" ect. And people would laugh at them like oh glad I'm not doing that, or look at those terrible women ect.

In high school I dated a girl I loved deeply. We both cared for each other a lot. Neither of us were very popular socially. Not unpopular, just kind of faces in the crowd. But whenever we would stop to share a hug or kiss as we parted, people would yell things out.

She also had a twin sister who was gay, so we would get catcalls from people mistaking her for her sister, and thinking she was two-timing me with a girl, which she wasn't. But we were mocked and had abuse yelled at us constantly.

We related to this song greatly, because it felt like us against the world, to be honest. Her and I alone had to deal with it. So we "took care" of each other.

And that is what this song will always be about for me, even if she and I are no longer together.
