Handle With Care

[Verse 1: Jenny Lewis]

Been beat up and battered round

Been sent up and I've been shot down

You're the best thing that I've ever found

Handle me with care

[Verse 2: Jenny Lewis]

Reputation's changeable

Situation's tolerable

Baby, you're adorable

Handle me with care

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Gibbard]

I'm so tired of being lonely

I still have some love to give

Won't you show me that you really care?

[Chorus: M. Ward]

Everybody got somebody to lean on

Put your body next to mine and dream on

[Verse 3: Jenny Lewis]

I've been fucked off and I been fooled

I've been robbed and ridiculed

In day-care centers and night schools

Handle me with care

[Verse 4: Jenny Lewis]

Been stuck in airports, terrorized

Sent to meetings, hypnotized

Overexposed, commercialized

Handle me with care

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Gibbard]

I'm so tired of being lonely

I still have some love to give

Won't you show me that you really care?

[Chorus: M. Ward and Conor Oberst]

Everybody got somebody to lean on

Put your body next to mine and dream on

[Verse 5: Conor Oberst]

I've been uptight and made a mess

I'll clean it up myself, I guess

Oh, the sweet smell of success

Handle me with care
