I came from out of nothing, and let me tell you somethin'
Seen eons come and go, asteroids and ice age snow, but...
I kept it all together, I had if made forever
Then you all came along, and things started going wrong now

Oh yeh, you better take care, better take care of me now
Oh, you better see I'm OK
Oh yeh, you better take care I don't overheat now
Yeh yeh, you better take care of me

I am the rock you stand on, fall down;
the one you land on
I'll still go an and on, long afteryou're all gone, yeh
Hey, can't you hear me talkin', this is the ground you're walkin'
You've got some tide to turn, to keep you feet from burnin'

Oh yeh, you better take care, better take care of me now
Oh, you better see I'm OK
Oh yeh, you better take care I don't overheat now
Yeh, yeh, you better take care of me

Ain't no skin off of my nose if you're gonna be history
But that's what you'll be if you don't take care of me - yeah
If there's a Terra Nova, out there for when it's over
That day, when I get too hot, I'll still be all you've got, yeh
Cos this ain't a sci-fi movie, ain't gonna be so easy
Get all your crazy race, offa my back and into space now

Oh yeh, you better take care, better take care of me now
Oh, you better see I'm OK
Oh yeh, you better take care I don't overheat now
Yeh, yeh, you better take care of me

Better do somethin', better start now,
Don't know what?, then you better find out
And you better pray that it ain't too late
Coz right now I don't feel so great

Oh yeh, you better take care, better take care of me now
Oh, you better see I'm OK
Oh yeh, you better take care I don't overheat now
Yeh, yeh, you better take care of me
Oh, you better just keep me sweet
Yeh, yeh, you better take care of me
