Been beat up and battered 'round 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 But baby, you're adorable 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 lean 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 lean 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
