Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
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
Verse 4:
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with care
(To chorus:)
(To bridge:)
Verse 5:
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
Verse 6: etc.
