| Been beat up and battered 'round
|
| Been sent up, and I’ve been shot down
|
| You’re the best thing that I’ve ever found
|
| Handle me with care
|
| Reputations changeable
|
| Situations tolerable
|
| Baby, you’re adorable
|
| Handle me with care
|
| (Chorus)
|
| I’m so tired of being lonely
|
| I still have some love to give
|
| Won’t you show me that you really care
|
| (Bridge)
|
| Everybody’s got somebody to lean on Put your body next to mine, and dream on
|
| I’ve been fobbed off, and I’ve been fooled
|
| I’ve been robbed and ridiculed
|
| In day care centers and night schools
|
| Handle me with care
|
| Been stuck in airports, terrorized
|
| Sent to meetings, hypnotized
|
| Overexposed, commercialized
|
| Handle me with care
|
| (Chorus)
|
| (Bridge)
|
| 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 |
