Times are hard and rents are high
What can the working girl do?
But struggle through another day
Then I'll take care of you

Nights are long and dreams are cold
If they're all you wake up to
But sure you rise with crying eyes
I'll take care of you

So let 'em talk about us
Let 'em call us funny things
People sometimes do
I don't care as long
As you know I love you
You know I do

I'll be there but you might not see me
It's not easy to get through
But when the laughter dies, I'll wake
I'll take care of you
Darling, I'll take care of you
