Lyrics by the Travelling Wilburys
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
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 off and i`ve been fooled
i`ve been robbed and ridiculed
in daycare 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
