Handle With Care

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 
But baby, you’re adorable; 
handle me with care 

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 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 

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 uptight and made a mess 
but I’ll clean it up myself, I guess 
Oh, the sweet smell of success; 
handle me with care
