Been beat up and batttered around
Been sent up and I've been shut down
You're the best thing that I have found
Handle me with care.

Repetations, 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 lead 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
Hand 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 lead 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.
