Take Care
Drake Lyrics

I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can see that you're still dealing with the pain of past hurt caused by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself
Your demeanor and body language give me an indication of how you're feeling

If you let me, here's what I'll do I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
If you allow me, I'll be there for you and make sure you feel loved and supported

I've loved and I've lost
I've experienced the highs and lows of love

I've asked about you and they told me things But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same
I've heard rumors about you, but I still have the same feelings for you

What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
Life should be enjoyable, so don't feel embarrassed about having fun. We both have a past and we can relate to each other

They won't get you like I will, my only wish is I die real 'Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
I understand you on a deeper level than others and I hope to always be honest with you, even if the truth hurts

And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase
You're unable to sleep because you're thinking about the person who hurt you and it's causing you to cry

Big girls all get a little taste, ah Pushing me away so I give her space, ah Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
Even strong women can be vulnerable and push people away due to their past experiences. I'm giving her space while understanding she's dealing with a damaged heart

I'll be there for you, I will care for you I keep thinking you just don't know
I'll always have your back and care for you. Sometimes, I wonder if you realize how much I truly care

Tryna run from that, say you done with that On your face, girl, it just don't show
You're trying to move on from past hurt, but you're still affected by it even if you don't show it

When you're ready, just say you're ready When all the baggage just ain't as heavy And the party's over, just don't forget me We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
Whenever you're ready to move on from your past, I'll be here. We can take it slow and change our current lifestyle when the time comes

You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide And you've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes
With me, you don't have to fear being judged or hiding anything. You know all of my flaws, so look into my eyes and see that I'm genuine

'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
Once again, I'll be there for you and take care of you if you let me

Yeah It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to Can't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if I have to 'Cause you don't say you love me To your friends when they ask you
The singer is celebrating his birthday but also wants the person he's singing about. However, he's willing to lie about it because she doesn't openly express her love for him to her friends

Even though we both know that you do, you do One time, been in love one time You and all your girls in the club one time
Even though they both know that she loves him, she's only been in love once and sometimes goes out clubbing with her friends

All so convinced that you're following your heart 'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed
She's convinced that she's following her heart, but sometimes her mind takes over. The singer is reassuring her that everyone has their moments and she shouldn't feel embarrassed

You hate being alone, well you ain't the only one You hate the fact that you bought the dream And they sold you one
The person he's singing about hates being alone but realizes she's not the only one who feels this way. She also hates the fact that she was sold on the ideal love story when it's not always realistic

And you love your friends, but somebody should've told you some' To save you, instead, they say
She loves her friends, but sometimes they don't give the best advice to help her through her pain

Don't tell me, I don't care If you hurt, I don't tell you You don't care, it feels true Don't tell me, I don't care If you hurt, I don't tell you You don't care, it feels true
The singer is saying that he does care about the person he's singing about and even if she doesn't care about him, he still cares regardless of what she tells him
