I was eight years old with a furry animal, oh-oh
Had to say goodbye to the fuzzy little guy, oh no
Asked my neighbours
"Would you please take care of him for me?
Don't let him know I'm going
Take care of him for me
Take care of him for me"
I was thirteen years old with a heart made of gold, oh-oh
Tried to make some friends
Almost killed myself instead, oh no
They said the meds would take care of things for me
I don't think they are working
Take care of things for me
Take care of things for me
Today I felt scared
Thinking 'bout your empty bed, oh-oh
But I know you'll be fine
Yeah, you've got to stay alive, oh-oh
Just don't forget to take care of you for me
I've been where you are going
Take care of you for me
Take care of you for me
