DBeen beat Cup and Gbattered 'round
DBeen sent Cup, andG I've been shot down
CYou're the best thing thatG I've ever Emfound
CHandle me withD care

Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care

GI'm so B7 tired Cof beingD lonely
GI still haveB7 some Clove to Dgive
GWon't you B7show me Cthat youD really G care

CEverybody's got somebody toG lean on
CPut your body next to mine, and Ddream 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
Hand 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
