But I wanna take care of you
Be your hope when the water's too deep
When the good Lord takes you, He better take me too
For once in my life I know what I am living for
I wanna take care of you
In the prime of our years and till the time ticks us older
I wanna take care of you
I'll show you the love of a man that knows how
I'll be your rope when that mountain's too steep
I've got nothin' to prove but the way that I feel
To hold you without holding you down
Woman within may think that it's wrong
It's love but it's so much more
It's not a sign of weakness to let me be strong
I wanna take care of you
So I can take care of you
So I can take care of you
I'll carry the weight of your world on my shoulder
When the good Lord takes you, better take me too
I wanna take care of you
I'll share my blanket when trouble winds turn colder
