Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby, here I am
I'm a man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come back for more
[Chorus]
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
Hey, little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, sir, I'm
[Verse 2]
Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
[Chorus]
Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey, little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, sir, I'm
[Bridge]
Yeah
Hard to handle now
Oh, baby
[Verse 3]
Baby, here I am
I'm a man on your scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' on you
You gotta come runnin' back for more
[Chorus]
Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
Hey, little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, sir, I'm
[Bridge]
Hard
Hard to handle now
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey, little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, sir, I'm
[Outro]
Yeah, so hard to handle now
Oh, yeah
Baby, good lovin'
Baby, baby, oh-oh, good lovin'
I need good lovin'
I got to have it, oh, yeah
Oh, so hard now, yeah
Mmm-mmm
