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
