Hard to Handle Songtext
von The Commitments

Baby, here I am, I′m the man on the scene
I can give you what you want, but you gotta come 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

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

Action speaks louder (ooh, ah) than words
And I′m a man of great experience (oh, yeah)
I know you've got (ooh, ah) another man
But I can love you better than him (says who?)

Take my hand (ooh, ah) don′t be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say (no lie)
I′m advertisin' (ooh, ah) love for free
So won't you place your ad with me? (Ah, ah)


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

Baby, (ooh, ah) here I am, I′m the man on the scene (ooh, ah)
I can give you what you want (ooh, ah)
But you gotta come home with me (ooh, ah)
I have got some good old lovin' (ooh, ah)
And I got some in store (oh, yeah)
When it comes to throwin′ it on (ooh, ah)
You gotta come back for more (ah, ha)

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
Sing it
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)
Mm, 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)
Yeah, you got to give it to me, yeah (yeah)
