Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up and I`ve been shut 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 fucked up and I`ve been fooled
I`ve been robbed and ridiculed
Daycare census 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
