Take Good Care of Her
Cherished Promise: Taking Responsibility for Love
Lyrics
Looks like I lost the only love I ever knew,
Expressing the loss of a significant love.
I can see it in the way she looks at you,
Observing the way the person looks at the new partner.
Before you take her hand and slowly walk away,
Acknowledging the imminent departure of the former lover with someone else.
There's just one thing I've got to say:
Preparing to convey a crucial message before the departure.
Now you've got my baby, better treat her like a lady,
Advising the new partner to treat the speaker's ex-lover with respect.
Take good care of her.
Emphasizing the need to take good care of the speaker's former love interest.
And you'd better always love her,
Stressing the importance of perpetual love for the ex-partner.
Never leave her for another,
Warning against leaving for another person.
Take good care of her.
Reiterating the directive to take good care of the speaker's ex-lover.
Even tho' I lost and you're the better man,
Accepting defeat and acknowledging the new partner as a superior choice.
I'll try to swallow all my pride and shake your hand,
Expressing a willingness to set aside pride and extend a handshake.
But I'll be watching you and every move you make,
Promising vigilant observation of the new relationship.
And I've just got one thing to say:
Announcing a final statement to the new partner.
Now you've got my baby, better treat her like a lady,
Reiterating the advice to treat the ex-lover with respect.
Take good care of her.
Reemphasizing the importance of taking good care of the ex-partner.
And you'd better always love her,
Stressing the necessity of constant love for the ex-lover.
Never leave her for another,
Repeating the warning against leaving for another person.
Take good care of her.
Reiterating the directive to take good care of the speaker's ex-lover.
Better treat her right, love her day and night,
Advising the new partner to treat the ex-lover well at all times.
Always make her feel that you care,
Encouraging constant expressions of care towards the ex-partner.
Better be around when she's feeling down,
Highlighting the importance of being present during difficult times for the ex-lover.
'Cause if you treat her wrong, I'll be there,
Warning that the speaker will intervene if the ex-lover is mistreated.
Now you've got my baby, better treat her like a lady,
Reiterating the advice to treat the ex-lover with respect.
Take good care of her.
Emphasizing the need to take good care of the speaker's former love interest.
And you'd better always love her,
Stressing the importance of perpetual love for the ex-partner.
Never leave her for another,
Warning against leaving for another person.
Take good care of her.
Reiterating the directive to take good care of the speaker's ex-lover.
