Lyrics

Cleo Who Takes Care of You

[Intro]

Oh, eh yeah, eh yeah

Oh, eh yeah, eh yeah

[Verse 1]

Is it a candle you light at night? (Eh yeah, eh yeah)

The life you carried inside your belly, oh

Maybe the song you sing all day (Eh yeah, eh yeah)

Perhaps the rain touching your face

[Chorus]

Cleo, who takes care of you?

Who takes care of you?

Who takes care of

Cleo, who takes care of you?

Who takes care of you?

Who takes care of

[Post-Chorus]

Of you, you, you

Of you, you, you

Of you, you, you, Cleo

You, you, you

Of you, you, you

Of you, you, you, Cleo

[Verse 2]

Is it the sea you sometimes brave? (Eh yeah, eh yeah)

The kids are laughing, the lives you save

Maybe it's your ancestor's voice (Eh yeah, eh yeah)

Perhaps there is no other choice

[Chorus]

Cleo, who takes care of you?

Who takes care of you?

Who takes care of

Cleo, who takes care of you?

Who takes care of you?

Who takes care of

[Post-Chorus]

Of you, you, you

Of you, you, you

Of you, you, you, Cleo

You, you, you

Of you, you, you

Of you, you, you, Cleo

[Outro]

(Cleo) Who takes care of you? (Oh, eh yeah)

Who takes care of you? (Eh yeah)

(Cleo) Who takes care of you? (Oh, eh yeah)

Who takes care of you? (Eh yeah)
