[Verse]
I've been working a long, long time
Now I'm caught in a wicked bind
You offered love, but I threw that out
I couldn't hear you, I was too busy shouting

[Verse]
Like a laughing hyena run out of breath
I've shot my rocks off till there's nothing left
It's an old old story, I suppose
A heavy price for a heavy pose

[Chorus]
Take care of me
Take care of me
Somebody should
Hell, I'm pretty good

[Verse]
International garbage man
I've decided that's what I am
I need somebody to pull me out
I'm sinking like crazy in my sauerkraut

[Chorus]
Take care of me
Take care of me
I've done my best
Now you do the rest
[Bridge]
Little boy, take out your toys
Lay them on the table
Benwa balls and bugs that crawl
I can't enjoy them without love
Still I've been known to run around

[Outro]
Take care of me
But beware of me
Sometimes I'm a snake
Just after the take
Take care of me
Take care of me
I've done my best
Take care of me
Now you do the rest
Take care of me
I'll never forget
Take care of me
