Otis Redding
Hard to Handle (Live at the Fillmore East, New York City, May 15, 1970)
[Verse 1]
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
And I've got a whole lot of good ol' lovin' 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]
An 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, I got to have some
Some of your love, and it's all I need
All I got to have, mama, some of your love
Early in the morning, I get kinda hard to handle, baby
Late in the evening, I get kinda hard to handle too
And it's all I need, all I got to have
Some of your sweet love
I got to get it, I go on and get it
Ain't no way I could do without it
Alright, alright
[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
And I've got a whole lot of good ol' lovin' 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]
Thanks a lot. Bobby just broke a string. We have to hassle a little bit 'cause another, the broken string disease has spread to this set
