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 careReputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
Handle me with careI'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really careEverybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream onI'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 careBeen stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with careI'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really careEverybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream onI'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
