Lyric Handle With Care

Lyrics by the Travelling Wilburys

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
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 fucked off and i ve been fooled
i ve been robbed and ridiculed
in daycare 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
