Lyrics
VERSE 1
Been beat up, I've been battered 'round
Been sent up and I've been shut down
You're the best thing that I've ever found
Handle me with care
VERSE 2
Reputation's changeable
Situation's tolerable
But 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
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next mine and dream on
VERSE 3
I've been fouled up and I've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In daycare centers and night schools
Handle me with care
VERSE 4
Been stuck in airports terrorized
Sent to meetings hypnotized
Overexposed commercialized
Handle me with care
CHORUS
VERSE 5
I've been uptight and made a mess
I've cleaned up myself I guess
Oh the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care
Handle me with care
