Handle With Care - Tom Petty

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

(Chorus)

I’m so tired of being lonely

I still have some love to give

Won’t you show me that you really care

(Bridge)

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

Handle me with care

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

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
