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
