Been beat up and battered round

Been sent up, and Ive been shot down

Youre the best thing that Ive ever found

Handle me with care



Reputations changeable

Situations tolerable

Baby, you're adorable

Handle me with care



Im so tired of being lonely

I still have some love to give

Wont you show me that you really care



Everybodys got somebody to lean on

Put your body next to mine, and dream on



Ive been fobbed off, and Ive been fooled

Ive 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

Hand me with care



Ive 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
