I Care 4 U Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm, yeah
No-no-no-no-no
Yeah, oh

[Verse 1]
Hey, my baby, why you lookin' so down?
Seems like you need a lovin'
Baby, you need a girl like me around
Hey, my baby, tell me why you cry
Here take my hand and (Yeah, mmm)
Wipe those tears from your eyes

[Chorus]
Can I talk to you (Can I talk to you?)
Comfort you (Oh)
Let you know (Just wanna let you know)
I care for you
Can I talk to you? (I wanna talk)
Comfort you (Gotta let you know, baby)
Let you know (I wanna let you know)
I care for you

[Verse 2]
Hey, sexy baby, why'd your girl leave you in pain?
To let a fine man like you go, she must be insane
Hey, sexy baby, there's no need to worry, no
Oh, boy, if you call on me
I'll come, I'll come in a hurry
[Chorus]
Can I talk to you (Come on, no)
Comfort you (I love you)
Let you know (Oh, baby)
I care for you
I love you, yes, I do
Can I talk to you (I wanna talk, no)
Comfort you (Give me a chance)
Let you know (Wanna let you know, gotta let you know)
I (That I) care for you (Love you, yeah)

[Bridge]
Hold on (Hold on)
Stay strong (Stay strong)
Press on (For me, baby)
I care (I care) for you (For you)
Hold on (Hold on)
Stay strong (Stay strong)
Press on (Press on for me)
I care for you (Baby)

[Chorus]
Can I talk to you? (I wanna talk)
Comfort you (I wanna hold you tight, baby)
Let you know (I wanna let you know)
I care for you (That I care for you)
Can I talk to you?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

It was released as a radio single in 2003 in promotion of Aaliyah’s posthumuous compilation album I Care 4 U (2002).

Aaliyah has said in an interview:

If I had to pick my favourite song from the album it would be “I Care 4 U”! I really wanted to put in on One In A Million but it was already mastered and there was no way I could get it on so we put it aside and waited.

What did Aaliyah say about "I Care 4 U"?
Genius Answer

It doesn’t sound like it’s 5 years old at all. It’s classic, timeless and I like what the song is saying. It’s a female being a strong person in a relationship and saying to a guy “If you’re upset let me wipe your tears, let me care for you, let me prove to you that I can love you” and I just really like that, I thought it was different.
