HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONEWHO DESERVE YOU (TAKE CARE MY DEAR) written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)

{Acoustic guitar interlude}

Spoken: Come, come over hon, come listen to me

            I have this song I wrote for you

            I want you to hear it

            I hope you like it

            It goes like this!

Verse 1:

I’m thinking back on the first time

Your mother and I made love

It’s still fresh in my mind

It’s a memory I won’t shake off

She had been my soul mate

She had been my best friend

We have the kind of love

We knew nothing could make end

But that didn’t include her falling down those steps

To never go up again

I still remember the time she told me she was pregnant

We were in the middle of some kinda argument

I just held her and I kissed her

Kissed you on her belly

And we never did argue again

And you were only eight months old when she died

Both of us for a long long time we cried

It was so hard to raise a girl for a man

I hope I am doing as good as anyone can

And my daughter I love you with all my soul

I wanna protect you from this wicked world

Sometimes when I say no and you really want to go

Please understand honey it’s this fear I hold

            Take care my dear

            In this life we’re living here

            There are some people who wanna hurt you

            And some friends will desert you

            Though I wish I could always be there

            Life ain’t all that fair!

            Take care my dear!

And someday you’ll be older than this

Your body, your mind would mature beautiful

Don’t let no boy deceice you by his kiss

You know I won’t let you take no bull----

I will try to teach you to be a fair person

Honest and sincere person

With values high and righteous

With values yeah just like us

You can talk to me about anything baby

I know for I lived with an open minded lady

And she taught me everything I’ll teach to you

I’ll try to impart proper behavior unto you

Now I’d raise you to be a disciplined child

A young lady filled with true pride

And I don’t ever want to see a low life get you

Or want you hold any love regret too

It don’t matter what’s his financial status babe

Just as long as he loves you and enjoy doing it

            I hope you find someone who deserve you

            When you find someone who take you from me

            You know I’d always be there to count on

            You’re always my precious little girl

            I’m your forever daddy!
