Hard to Handle Lyrics by The Commitments

The Commitments, Vol. 2

0

[Verse 1]
Baby, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want, but you gotta come back with me
I have got some good old lovin' and I got some in store
When it comes to throwin' it on, you gotta come back for more

[Chorus]
Boys will come a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, I am
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience (Oh yeah?)
I know you've got another man
But I can love you better than him (Says who?)
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say (No lie?)
I'm advertising love for free
So won't you place your ad with me (Ah-ha)

[Chorus]
Boys will come a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, I am

[Verse 3]
Baby, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want, but you gotta come back with me
I have got some good old lovin' and I got some in store (Oh yeah?)
When it comes to throwin' it on, you gotta come back for more (Ah-ha)

[Chorus]
Boys will come a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes, I am

[Outro]
Oh, come on, sing it to me one time
Give it up (Give it up)
Got to have it (Got to have it)
I said give it up (Got to have it)
Ooh, give it up (Yeah, yeah, got to have it)
Oh yeah, come on (Give it up)
Give it to me one more time, yeah (Got to have it)
Oh, give it to me (Got to have it; yeah, yeah, got to have it)
You got to give it to me, yeah (Yeah)
