From the recording In Bloom
Lyrics
I see you walk through that door
Ooh what the cat drug in
You’re seeking shelter from the storm
A few too many years of living with him
Hey baby so you thought you knew
All about real love
But now your heart is black and blue
You give and give trying to ease his pain
But now you find you’re just mopping up the rain
Now you’re going back to him
You say he needs you don’t know what he will do
Well tell me this before you grant him his wish
Who’s taking care of you?
You give and give trying to ease his pain
But now you find you’re just mopping up the rain
The waters getting deep
His current’s trying to pull you down
Babe he’s got a hold on you
You better let go before you drown
Well I been down a time or two
Down so long my skin turned blue
I was so busy saving somebody else
I almost couldn’t resuscitate myself
Hey baby so you thought you knew
All about real love
But now your skin is black and blue
Who's taking care of you?
You’ve got to take care of you.
