Been beat up and battered around.
Been sent up and I’ve been shot down.
You’re the best thing that I’ve ever found.
Handle me with care.
Reputation’s changeable. Situation’s tolerable.
But Baby you’re adorable. Handle me with Care.
BRIDGE: I’m so tired of being lonely. I still have some
Love to give. Won’t you show me that you really care.
CHORUS: Everybody’s got someone to lean 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 school.
Handle me with care.
Been Stuck in airports, terrorized.
Sent to meetings, hypnotized.
Over-exposed commercialized.
Handle me with care.
BRIDGE, CHORUS.
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.
