Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up and I've been shut down
You're the best thing that I've ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations 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 lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on
I've been fucked up and I've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
Daycare census 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
