Handle me tenderly,

Handle me with all the love you have in your heart

Handle me gently, handle me with care you see.

Please don′t tell me why.

I don't mean to sound so demanding,

But on your sweet gentle love I am depending

You see I′ve been through so many changes,

Before you gave me love.

Heartbroken, downhearted and on & on and on no ah

I've been hurt so many times

I want to be prepared

Cause if you tend you really need my loving,

Let me know, you see I'm scared! OOOOooooooo, baby!

Handle me gently,

Handle me with all the love you have in your heart,

Handle me gently,

Handle me with care you see.

And please don′t tell me why

Please don′t think I'm saying

I′m too gentle to touch, I'm just saying take it easy,

Whooooo, I′ve been hurt so much

Ya see I've had my had my ups & downs,

And I′ve been pushed around

Walked over, mistreated,

And taken round and round and round

I've been hurt soo many times,

I want to prepared

Cause if you don't really need my love,

Let me go... you see I′m scared...
