Been beat up and battered around   Been sent up and I've been shot down   You're the best thing that I've ever found   Handle me with care      Reputation's changeable   Situation's 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   I'd clean it up myself, I guess   Oh, the sweet smell of success   Handle me with care
