"Hard To Handle"
(Alvertis Isbell / Allen Jones / Otis Redding)

Baby, here I am,
I'm a man on the scene.
I can give you what you want
But you got to go home with me.
I've a got some good old lovin',
And I got some in store.
When I get through throw in' it on you,
You got to come back for more.
Boys and things will come by the dozen,
But that ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Prety little thing, let me light your candle,
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, yes I am.
Action speaks louder than words,
And I'm a man with a great experience.
I know you got you another man,
But, I can love you better than him.
Take my hand, don't be afraid,
I wanna prove every word I say.
I advertize love for free, so won't ya
Place your ad with me?
Boys will come a dime by the dozen,
But that ain't nothin' but ten-cent love.
Prety little thing, let me light your candle,
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, yes I am.
Baby, here I am,
I'm a man on the scene.
I can give you what you want
But you got to go home with me.
I've a got some good old lovin',
And I got some in store.
When I get through throw in' it on you,
You got to come back for more.
Boys and things will come by the dozen,
But that ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Prety little thing, let me light your candle,
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, yes I am.
