Met you when you were eighteen Babygirl, wide-eyed and naive Big, bold, and bad with a soft center Sitting pretty in my passenger seat Singing along to the same song on repeat I'll be keeping you warm all winter Chip on your shoulder, something to prove Fell for me like you had nothing to lose Any other guy would leave you black and blue But I'm gonna take care of you I'm older, trust I know better Stay close and hide in my sweater So many things you don't understand Let me take the wheel, and I'll teach ya I know what you need, let me lead ya You're my baby, let me be your man Chip on your shoulder, something to prove Love is a game, and I never lose Any other guy would leave you black and blue But I'm gonna take care of you Head in the clouds and you're floating Come down before you start choking I know you want me to believe Wouldn't ya rather me be honest Not tryna to hurt ya, I promise But I think it's time to kill the dream Chip on your shoulder, something to prove This is a fight that you're gonna lose Any other guy would let you take the bruise But I'm gonna take care of you I'm gonna take care of you
