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 goin'

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 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 thinkin' '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 goin'

Take care of you for me

Take care of you for me
