[Verse 1]
You, you, you loved and lost someone else
I can tell by the way that you carry yourself
Baby, if you'll let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

[Verse 2]
I've loved, uh huh, I've loved and lost the same as you
So I know exactly what you've been goin' through
If you'll let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

[Bridge]
You may never, never, never, never have to worry no more
You may never have to cry
I'll be standing beside you
Dry your weeping eye
Sometimes

[Verse 3]
Oh, won't you say, won't you say
Won't you say, won't you say, won't you say, baby, that you'll be true
I'm having no doubt in my mind just exactly what I'm gonna do
And if you'll let me, here's what I'll do, here's what I'll do
I have to take care of you
[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
You may never, never, never have to worry no more, no more, no more
Say, say baby, may have to cry sometime
I'll be standing beside you
Dry your weeping eye

[Verse 3]
So won't you tell me, tell me, tell me right now, say that you'll be true
There's no doubt in my mind just exactly what I'm gonna do
And if you'll let me, baby, if you'll let me, my my my my my my my my
I'll take care of you
That's what I have to do

[Outro]
I'm drifting, I'm drifting
Like a ship out on the sea
Drifting, I'm drifting
Like a ship out on the sea
Drifting, I'm drifting
Just like a ship, a ship out on the sea
A ship out on the sea
