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 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
