Take Care of Yourself Lyrics

There are things that you have no control of

There are times there's nothing you can do

There are moments where you might get broadsided

And find you just have to play things through

But at those times where you're not feeling right

Or you're not in sync with everything else

Hey, don't you wait or hesitate

To take care of yourself

It's easy to get caught up in another person's life

Who thinks their problems are more important than yours

It's natural to focus your efforts in helping them

And get lost in your giving chores

Hey, but you can't keep ignoring the pain you disregard

Thinking it's okay, you're helping someone else

Hey, don't you fall apart because of your good heart

Hey, take care of yourself

The world will always have an unquenchable need

For special people like you to be out there

But how can you be of help to anybody else

If you end up always in need of repair

As you go about your day with your silent pain

As some don't know, others will never care

For them, their only want is to get their needs met

To go through their day and go from there

It's not selfish for you to want to feel well

And not broken on some lonely shelf

No

I need you to be happy and here with me

So take care of yourself
