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.
