As recorded by ROSE MURPHY:

Girls were made to take care of boys
Made to share their sorrows
Made to share their joys
Made to help and guide them
With ever a patient hand
Made to give affection
In the right direction
Always understand

Now, boys may think they take care of girls
Just because they pass on 
Their fashions and their curls
But I've always found
It's just the other way around
If you need the girl 
And declare you do
She'll be there to take care of you

(Instrumental Break)

Boys were made to take care of girls
Made to buy them diamonds
And supply their pearls
Made to build a home for
Where children may romp and play
Made to wanta kiss 'em
Even start to miss them
When they're far away

A girl may think she takes care of boys
Just because she's clever
With each trick she applies
But I've always found
It's just the other way around
If you love the boy
And declare you do
He'll be there to take care of you

Now, girls, you don't believe the boys, do you
I am sure you agree with me

I have always found
It's just the other way around
If you need that girl
And declare you do
She'll be there to take care of you
