And though it really hurts me so
 There's something that I've gotta say

 Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
 Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
 Just tell her that you love her
 Make sure you're thinking of her
 In everything you say and do-o-o-o

 Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
 Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
 Just let your love surround her
 Paint a rainbow all around her
 Don't let her see a cloudy sky

 Once upon a time that little girl was mine
 If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

 So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
 Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
 And if you should discover
 That you don't really love her
 Just send my baby back home    to    me

 Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
 Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
 And if you should discover
 That you don't really love her
 Just send my baby back home    to    me

 Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
 Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
 FADE
 Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
