Song Description
Heavy, deliberate drums and distorted bass set the feel-good, in-your-face tone of this song right off the bat. Vocals begin with a gently sung version of the request that is the song's title and corus, but quickly rise to a belted out melody backed by a syncopated harmony. The duelling voices give the song an almost funky, swingin' 60's Motown feel. It's one of Ro's most dancable tunes. It's a classic, hard-rock take on the new age theme of self-care and accepting one's faults.

Lyrics
Let me take care of myself. No one?s gonna do it for me.
Let me take care of myself. No one does it better than me.
You can?t assume to know what?s going on inside
You?ve got your own body, you?ve got your own mind.
It?s not your job to take care of me,
but don?t hold me back from what I need.
Let me take care of myself. No one?s gonna do it for me.
Let me take care of myself. No one does it better than me.
When I need to rest, when and what I eat,
when I need to talk, when I need to sleep.
When I need to scream, when I need to freak,
when I need to live, just come on and let me be.
Let me take care of myself. No one?s gonna do it for me.
Let me take care of myself. No one does it better than me.
And when I?m overcome with a need to run,
don?t write it off as a rejection.
It?s just a remedy to the chaos in me.
Please believe me when I say I know what I need.
Let me take care of myself. No one?s gonna do it for me.
Let me take care of myself. No one does it better than me
When I need to laugh, when I need to cry,
when I need to be alone for a silent time.
When I need to think, when I need to scratch--
is self control too much to ask?
Let me take care of myself. No one?s gonna do it for me.
Let me take care of myself. No one does it better than me.
