Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's one now from on of me other groups
Called the traveling willburry's
Thank you
And it's called Handle with Care
[Verse 2]
Been beat up and battered round
Been set up and I've been shot down
You're the best thing that I've ever found
Handle me with care
[Verse 3]
Reputation's tolerable
Intuition's tolerable
But, baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care
[Verse 4]
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really, care?
[Verse 5]
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Gone to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle me with care
[Verse 8]
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really, care?
[Verse 9]
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 10]
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
