Take Good Care of My Baby
Guardian of Love: Nurturing the Heart in 'Take Good Care of My Baby'
Lyrics
My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
Expressing sorrow because someone has taken away the speaker's love.
And though it really hurts me so
Despite the emotional pain, the speaker feels compelled to communicate something.
There's something that I've gotta say
The speaker is about to convey a message or share his feelings.
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Direct plea to take good care of the speaker's baby.
Please don't ever make her blu-you-you-ue
Request not to cause sadness or distress to the baby.
Just tell her that you love her
Advice to express love to the baby.
Make sure you're thinking of her
Encouragement to consistently think about and consider the baby's well-being.
In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Emphasizing the importance of expressing love in words and actions.
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Reiteration of the plea to take good care of the baby.
Now don't you ever make her cry-why-why-why
Warning against making the baby cry.
Just let your love surround her
Suggestion to envelop the baby with love.
Paint a rainbow all around her
Metaphorical expression to create a positive and colorful environment for the baby.
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Advising not to expose the baby to negativity or hardship.
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
Reflecting on a past time when the girl belonged to the speaker.
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
Regret for not being faithful, leading to the girl being with someone else.
So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Reiteration of the plea to take good care of the baby.
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
Encouragement to be kind to the baby.
And if you should discover
Addressing the possibility that the current partner may not truly love the baby.
That you don't really love her
If the love is insincere, a request to return the baby to the speaker.
Just send my baby back home to me
Reiteration of the plea, emphasizing the importance of the baby's well-being.
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Repetition of the plea to take good care of the baby.
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
Emphasis on kindness towards the baby.
And if you should discover
Reiterating the possibility of the current partner not truly loving the baby.
That you don't really love her
If love is lacking, a request to return the baby to the speaker.
Just send my baby back home to me
Final plea to take good care of the baby, underscoring the importance of her well-being.
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Repetition of the plea to take good care of the baby.
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Reiteration of the plea to take good care of the baby.
FADE
Indicating a fade-out in the music.
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Final plea to take good care of the baby before the music fades.
