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.
Reputations changeable
situations tolerable

Baby
you're adorable
handel 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 learn 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
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 learn 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.
