[D]

Been beat up and battered around

Been sent up but I've been shut down

You're the best thing that I've ever found

Handle me with care

Reputation's changable

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

Bridge:

Everybody's got somebody to lean on

Put your body next to mine, and dream on

I've been fobbed off without being fooled

I've been robbed and ridiculed

In daycare centers and night schools

Handle me with care

Chorus

Bridge

Been stuck in airports, terrorized

Sent to meetings, hypnotized

Overexposed, commercialized

Handle me with care

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
