Take Care

[Chorus: Rihanna]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

If you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost

[Verse 1: Drake]

I've asked about you and they told me things

But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same

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

They won't get you like I will, my only wish is I die real

'Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal

And you can't sleep thinkin' that he lies still

So you cry still, tears all in the pillowcase

Big girls all get a little taste, aw

Pushing me away so I give her space, aw

Dealin' with a heart that I didn't break

I'll be there for you, I would care for you

I keep thinking you just don't know

Tryna run from that, say you done with that

On your face, girl, it just don't show

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

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

[Chorus: Rihanna & Drake]

'Cause if you let me

Here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost

(Yeah)

[Verse 2: Drake]

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

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

All so convinced that you're followin' your heart

'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes

We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know

You hate bein' alone, well, you ain't the only one

You hate the fact that you bought the dream and they sold you one

You love your friends, but somebody should've told you somethin'

To save you, instead, they say

[Interlude: Gil Scott-Heron]

Don't, tell me, I don't care if you hurt

I don't, tell you, you don't care if you're true

Don't, tell me, I don't care if you hurt

I don't, tell you, you don't care if you're true

[Chorus: Rihanna]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

If you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost
