The Grateful Dead
Hard To Handle (Live at Golden Hall, San Diego, August 7, 1971)
[Verse 1]
Baby, here I am and I'm a man upon the scene
I can give you what you want, but you got to come home with me
And I've got a whole lot of good ol' loving and I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you, you got to come back for more

[Chorus]
Boys and things will come by the dozen
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 2]
Action speaks louder than words and I'm a man with great experience
I know you got you another man, but I can love you better than him
Take my hand and don't be afraid, I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free so won't you place your ad with me

[Chorus]
Boys and things will come by the dozen
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

[Bridge]
Give it to me baby, I got to have it, some of your love
It's all I need, early in the morning, late in the evening..
I need it, I got to have it, some of your lovin'...
...got to get some, some of your love...
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Baby, here I am and I'm a man upon the scene
And I can give you what you want but you got to come home with me
Well, I've got a whole lot of good ol' loving and I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you, you got to come back for more

[Chorus]
Boys and things will come by the dozen
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]
Thank you
