Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Reputation's changeable
Situation's tolerable
But, baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care
[PreChorus]
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?
[Chorus]
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on
[Verse 3]
I've been fobbed off and I've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In daycare centers and night schools
Handle me with care
[Verse 4]
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle me with care
[PreChorus]
I'm so tired of bein' lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?
[Chorus]
Everybody got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on
[Verse 5]
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
