I ll take care of you song

I know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you

I, I’ve loved and lost the same as you
So you see, I know just what you’ve been through
But if you’ll let me, here’s what I’ll do
Oh, I just got to take care of you

You won’t ever have to worry
You won’t ever have to cry
I’ll be there beside you
To dry your weep­ing eyes

So darling, tell me that you’ll be true
For there is no doubt in my mind, I know what I want to do
Under­stand, sure as one and one is two
Oh, you know I’ll take care of you

I’ll take care of you

[Verse 1]
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you'll let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

[Verse 2]
I, I loved and lost, the same as you
So, you see, I know just what you've been through
So, if you'll let me, here's what I'll do
I got to take care of you

[Bridge]
You won't ever have to worry
You won't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes

[Verse 3]
So, darling, tell me that you'll be true
'Cause there's no doubt in my mind I know what I want to do
And just as sure as one and one are two
I just got to take care of you

[Coda]
I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you

By someone else
I can tell by the way
You carry yourself
But if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do

So you see I know
Just what you've been through
And if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I just have got to take care of you
You won't ever have to worry
You don't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So darlin' tell me

And just as sure
One and one is two
I just got, I got to take care of you
I just got to take care of you
Take care of you

"I'll Take Care of You" is een nummer van de Amerikaanse zanger Bobby Bland. Het nummer werd in 1959 als single.

Achtergrond[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]

"I'll Take Care of You" is geschreven door Brook Benton. In de versie van Bland bereikte het nummer plaats 89 in de Amerikaanse Billboard Hot 100. Het nummer is voornamelijk bekend vanwege de hoeveelheid covers die gemaakt zijn. Onder anderen Gary B. B. Coleman, Elvis Costello, Miley Cyrus, Rebecca Ferguson, Roy Hamilton, Mick Hucknall, Etta James, Mark Lanegan, Van Morrison, Jackie Payne, Gil Scott-Heron, Irma Thomas en O. V. Wright hebben een versie opgenomen. De cover van Scott-Heron is geremixt door Jamie xx; deze versie is door Drake en Rihanna weer opgenomen onder de titel "Take Care". Daarnaast is de oorspronkelijke versie van Bland gesampled door Wordsworth en door Akhenaton, wiens versie gebruikt werd in de film Taxi.

In Nederland is de bekendste cover afkomstig van Beth Hart en Joe Bonamassa, die het in 2011 opnamen voor hun eerste gezamenlijke album Don't Explain. Hun cover werd op 29 augustus van dat jaar uitgebracht als de tweede single van dit album.[1] Deze versie behaalde weliswaar geen hitlijsten, maar kwam in 2021 wel binnen in de NPO Radio 2 Top 2000 op plaats 978.
