Girl you know that I just can't take care of myself.

It's a cold, hard world and I need someone to rely on.

Someone who can take care of all the little things .

And when I make a mistake, she’ll come and fix it up for me,

'cause she’s sweet.  (so sweet)

Take the weight off my feet.

It's getting really hard - too many promised to keep.

Wash my hair and make the tea.

I can't pay you anything but loving is free.

Wash my hair and make the tea.

Girl I have to ask: can you take care of me?

Girl you know that I just can't take care of myself.

I'm a big boy now, but I'm pretty close to useless.

I could set a video to tape all your shows.

But don't expect no heavy lifting my attentions are slipping.

You're sweet.  (so sweet)

Take the weight off my feet.

It's getting really hard - too many promised to keep.

Wash my hair and make the tea

I can't pay you anything but loving is free

Wash my hair and make the tea

Girl I have to ask: can you take care of me?
