[Intro: ]D  C  G  

D         C       G  
Been beat up and battered around  
D        C           G  
Been set up and I've been shut down  
C                          G      Em  
You're the best thing that I ever found  
C      D       G  
Handle me with care  

Reputations changable,  
situations tolerable  
But baby you're adorable  
Handle me with care  


[Refrão]
         G     B7       C     D  
        I'm so tired of being lonely  
         G      B7        C       D  
        I still have some love to give  
         G        B7      C        D      G  
        Won't you show me that you really care  
             C                      G  
        Everybody's got somebody to lean on  
                 C                     D  
        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 daycare centers and night schools  
Handle me with care  

D   C   G    D   C   G  

Been stuck in airports terrorised,  
Sent to meetings hypnotised  
Overexposed commercialised  
Handle me with care  

Chorus  

I've been uptight and made a mess  
But I'm cleaning up myself I guess  
Oh the sweet smell of success  
Handle me with care
