I gave you love when you were lonely
And I gave you strength when your times were bad
I've been a daddy to your children
And I've dried your tears when you were sad.
But darlin', you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
Darling, I'll just take it out in love.
I've been your friend when you were troubled
And I stood by you when things went wrong
I picked you up each time you stumbled
When you were weak and I was strong.
But darlin', you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
I'll just take it out in love.
Darling, I'll just take it out in love...
