lyrics
Been beat up and battered around,
Been set up, and I've been shut down,
You're the best thing that I've ever found,
Handle me with care.
Reputations changeable,
Situations tolerable,
But 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,
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,
Woah the sweet smell of success,
Handle me with care.

I sang all the parts and played all the instruments on this song but I used a drummer buddy, Rob Andrews, to play the percussion on this.
Started playing the guitar when I was 10 - took a 6 week crash course and was self-taught from there on. Played in a few
bands but always played. Technology has now allowed me to record my versions of songs and instead of just hearing the harmonies and other instruments in my head, I could now add them!
I hope you enjoy these songs!...more
