| Been beat up and battered around
|
| Been sent up and I’ve been shot down
|
| You’re the best thing that I ever found
|
| Handle me with care
|
| Reputation’s changeable
|
| And situation’s tolerable
|
| And baby you’re adorable
|
| Just handle me with care
|
| 'Cause I’m so tired of being lonely
|
| I still have some love to give
|
| Won’t you show me that you really care
|
| Everybody’s got somebody to lean on
|
| Put your body next to mine
|
| And dream on
|
| I’ve been fucked up and I’ve been fooled
|
| I’ve been robbed and ridiculed
|
| In daycare centers and night schools
|
| Handle me with care
|
| 'Cause I’m so tired of being lonely
|
| I still have some love to give
|
| Won’t you show me that you really care
|
| 'Cause everybody’s got somebody to lean on
|
| Put your body next to mine
|
| And dream on
|
| I’ve been uptight and made a mess
|
| But I’ll clean it up myself, I guess
|
| Oh, the sweet smell of success
|
| Handle me with care
|
| Handle me with care
|
| Handle me with care |
