As I look out through my window

I can see the morning dew

And the people seem so happy

I wish that I could, too


But my life's become so blue, so blue, so blue



If you get a real good woman

Be sure to treat her right


Or someone else will take her

Away from you one night

From the arms that held her tight, held her tight, held her tight



Take good care of my baby

That's all I ask of you

Take good care of my baby

And then, I won't feel blue

No matter what you do, what you do, what you do


[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]


I think I've learned my lesson

But now, the time's too late

Someone else has got my baby

Someone else is feeling great

I sit all day and wait, sit and wait, sit and wait


As I think about the good times

Feel tears come to my eyes

Times when I could make her happy

Just to be right by my side

Gotta make you realize, realize, realize


Take good care of my baby

That's all I ask of you

Take good care of my baby

And then, I won't feel blue


Take good care of my baby

That's all I ask of you


Take good care of my baby


Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
