Take Good Care of Her
The Partridge Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks like I lost the only love I ever knew,
I can see it in the way she looks at you,
Before you take her hand and slowly walk away,
There's just one thing I've got to say:

Now you've got my baby, better treat her like a lady,
Take good care of her.
And you'd better always love her,
Never leave her for another,
Take good care of her.

Even tho' I lost and you're the better man,
I'll try to swallow all my pride and shake your hand,
But I'll be watching you and every move you make,
And I've just got one thing to say:

Now you've got my baby, better treat her like a lady,
Take good care of her.
And you'd better always love her,
Never leave her for another,
Take good care of her.

Better treat her right, love her day and night,
Always make her feel that you care,
Better be around when she's feeling down,
'Cause if you treat her wrong, I'll be there,

Now you've got my baby, better treat her like a lady,
Take good care of her.
And you'd better always love her,
Never leave her for another,
Take good care of her.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Partridge Family's song Take Good Care of Her is a plea from a man who has lost the love of his life to another man. He recognizes that the woman he loved is now with someone else, and he can see it in the way she looks at the new man in her life. He knows that he has lost, but he still wants to make sure that the new man takes care of his former love. The song emphasizes the importance of treating someone with love and respect.


The chorus of the song repeats the plea to the new man to take good care of the woman. The lyrics imply that the new man is the better man, and the singer is willing to swallow his pride and shake his hand. However, he warns the new man that he will be watching him and every move he makes when it comes to his former love.


The song's message can be seen as a universal plea for people to treat each other well in relationships. It may be easy to become resentful or bitter when a relationship ends, but the song reminds us that it is important to still care for and respect those we once loved, even if they are with someone else.
