<… Read Full Bio ↴Charlotte Day Wilson is a Canadian singer-songwriter based in Toronto.
Wilson has the type of slow-burning, smoldering jazz and R&B-influenced sound that already feels classic. She has been quietly churning out songs, from the gospel-washed “Work” back in April to a guest spot in BADBADNOTGOOD’s “In Your Eyes". Her debut EP, CDW, Wilson solidifyies her timeless sound.
Getting here hasn’t been easy—the artist has been, as she says, “working [her] ass off.” Needless to say, the effort has been worth it. Wilson’s tracks have been featured everywhere from Apple Music commercials to Grace & Frankie (and, natch, our playlists), and the singer undertook a tour with Local Natives.
Take Care of You
Charlotte Day Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want me to, I'm
Always ready for your love
I'll take care of you if
If you want me to, I'm
Always ready for your love
You'll come around like I've prayed for it
Wearing your cross on my chain for it
Even the blind do believe, oh, oh, but
Stay for it
I'll part the seas seven days for it
Down on my knees as you came four
Times over me, oh
I'll take care of you if
If you want me to, I'm
Always ready for your love
What if we fight for it?
Twelve rounds or more every night for it
Fly to the moon and back twice for it
All for our love, oh
I'll be nice for it
I take a breath close my eyes for it
Still wanna leave on the lights for it
More about us, oh
I'll take care of you if
If you want me to, I'm
Always ready for your love
I'll take care of you if
If you want me to, I'm
Always ready for your love
I'll take care of you if
If you want me to, I'm
I'll take care of you if
If you want me to, I'm
(If I had been sure of myself
I could have shown you just what to do)
'Cause only you can make me feel this way
(And I know I'd)
