Otis Redding
Hard to Handle (Live at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, February 18, 1971)
[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 woman, 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 bе afraid, I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advеrtising 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
Early in the morning, I guess I get a little hard to handle
Just about sometime, yes, I do
I begin, I begin to get hungry for your love sometime
You know, mama, now, yes, I do
I gotta tell you sometime when I have it tend to get hungry
All, all I need
A little bit of your love, little bit of your love
But if I don't get it, I begin
I begin to get just a little bit hard to handle sometime, yes, I do
My, my, it's so good, just can't get away from it, no
It's so good, can't get around now, no, no
[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
Mama I'm sure hard to handle now, yes, I am
[Outro]
Thank you
