i wanna take care of you

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 to let me be strong, i wanna take care of you, i'll carry the weight of your world on my shoulder, i wanna take care of you, in the prime of our years till time ticks us older, i wanna take care of you, i'll be your rope when that mountain's too steep, be your hope when the water's too deep, i'll share my blanket when trouble winds turn colder, i wanna take care of you, i've got nothin' to prove but the way that i feel, it's love but it's so much more, for once in my life i know what i am living for, when the good lord takes you he better take me too, so i can take care of you, when the good lord takes you he better take me too, so i can take care of you
