HARD TO HANDLE
(Lyrics by Otis Redding)


Hey there, here I am 
I'm the man on the scene 
I can give you what you want 
But you got to come home with me 

I forgot some good old lovin' 
And I got some more in store 
When I get to thrown it on you 
You got to come back for more 

Toys and things that come by the dozen 
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin' 
Hey little thing, let me light your candle 
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around 

Action speaks louder than words 
And I'm a man of great experience 
I know you got another man 
But I can love you better than him 

Take my hand, don't be afraid 
I'm gonna prove every word I say 
I'm advertisin' love for free 
So, you can place your ad with me 

Once it come along a dime by the dozen 
That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin' 
Hey little thing, let me light your candle 
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around 

Yeah, hard to handle, now 
Oh, baby 

Baby, here I am 
The man on your scene 
I can give you what you want 
But you got to come home with me 

I forgot some good old lovin' 
And I got some more in store 
When I get to thrown it on you 
You got to come runnin' back for more 

Once it come along a dime by the dozen 
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin' 
Hey little thing, let me light your candle 
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around 

Hard, hard to handle, now 
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yeah 

Once it come along a dime by the dozen 
That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin' 
Hey little babe, let me light your candle 
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around 

Yeah, so hard to handle, now 
Oh yeah 
Baby, good lovin' 
Baby, baby, owww, good lovin' 
I need good lovin' 
I got to have, oh yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yeah 
So hard to handle, now, yeah 
Um-um-um
