Charlotte day wilson take care of you lyrics

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Charlotte Day Wilson has returned with two new singles: “Summertime” and “Take Care of You” featuring Syd. This is the first release since she offered her “Mountains” single last year and Stone Woman album in 2018.

“‘Take Care of You’ was one of those songs that came really naturally and quickly, the lyrics were impromptu and the music was simple. I just wanted to write the sort of lesbian love song that I would want to listen to,” Charlotte detailed in a recent press statement. “Syd was the best possible addition, we both felt it was a song that needed to be heard. I wrote ‘Summertime’ at my cottage alone in the woods, I was just reflecting on some unrequited emotions that always seem to come back in the summer.”

“Take Care of You” is a soulful love ballad but also features slurred, almost chopped and screwed background vocals somewhat reminiscent of James Blake‘s approach. Charlotte expertly pulls inspirations from jazz, R&B and soul and what results is an atmosphere that is solely her own. Heavy bass-lines add to the track’s longing. “Summertime” is breezy and upbeat, finding the perfect contrast to the Syd collaboration.

Stay tuned for more from Charlotte in the future. Listen to her new singles below. In more music news, Liv.e joined HYPEBEAST for the new feature “Liv.e’s Soulful Existence Was Freestyled From Solitude” to talk about her new album Couldn’t Wait to Tell You….

[Intro: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I'll take care of you if, if you want me to
I'm always ready for your love
I'll take care of you if, if you want me to
I'm always ready for your love

[Verse 1: Charlotte Day Wilson]
Wait for it
You'll come around like I've prayed for it
Wearing your cross on my chain for it
Even we're blind to believe
Oh, but stay for it
I'll part the seas the seven days for it
Down on my knees as you came four times over me, oh

[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I'll take care of you if, if you want me to
I'm always ready for your love

[Verse 2: King Princess]
I've done my time for you
I'm just a faint eclipse, a tie for you
I'll be your man when it feels right to you
Then throw your dress on just to f**k
I switch it up, up, up
Asked my gods for you, baby
You're what they gave me
Yes, the the sex is so crazy
Really make a statement
And I wanna be your safety
I'm always ready for your love
For your touch
[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I'll take care of you if, if you want me to
I'm always ready for your love

[Verse 3: Amaarae]
Hey, nah, nah, shawty want ecstasy and I want extra for it
So if you wish my eyes could see, I'll switch the game up for you
Messing, stressing
F**king with an all-time blessing
My vision's sunny, you bet I'm on [?]
I'm on you bad and you need to come special
Shawty
Been waiting all day for you, call me
Turnt up in the night and the day always what you got me
Got me all twisted, put me on a wish-list
Say it one time, you're the one that I'm missing

[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I'll take care of you if, if you want me to
I'm always ready for your love

[Outro]
I came from the stars
Every day, I'm faithful
I came from the stars (Through space and time)
Just for you (Through space and time)
Just for you
Faithful
(Be in love with me)
Faithful
(Stay in love with me)
Faithful
(Be in love with me)
Faithful (Always be there for you)
(Stay in love with me)

I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to
I’m always ready for your love
I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to
I’m always ready for your love

[Verse 1: Charlotte Day Wilson]
Wait for it
You’ll come around like I’ve prayed for it
Wearing your cross on my chain for it
Even we’re blind to believe

Down on my knees as you came four times over me, oh

[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to

[Verse 2: Syd]
What if we fight for it?
Twelve rounds and more every night for it
Fly to the Moon and back twice for it
All for our love, oh, I’ll be nice for it
I’ll take a breath, close my eyes for it
Still wanna leave on the lights for it
More about us, oh

[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to
I’m always ready for your love
I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to
I’m always ready for your love

[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to, I’m
I’ll take care of you if, if you want me to, I’m

[Outro: Syd]
If only I had been sure of myself
I could have shown you just what to do
‘Cause only you can make me feel this way
And I know I’d take care of you, oh
